Cross vCenter vMotion

[pan1268]

Hello Experts

Would like to understand if it possible to vMotion aVirtual Machine between 2 different vCenter servers without having the shared storage between them. I have read the following KB 2106952 which says it is must but it also says about the same SSO domain but there are articles which proves vMotion is possible also between different vCenter SSO domain.

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Yes, it is possible to do this. There was a Fling released in December which even provides a GUI to do so.

Hi!

Cross VC vmotion is possible without shared storage.

However there are some other requirements. For example both vcenter servers must be licensed with Enterprise Plus license.

Fling can only help to migrate VM without web client and single SSO domain.
