Hi All,
Need your urgent help.
I am migrating virtual machines from one ESXI host to another ESXI using vmware v center standalone converter.but it is taking too much time.
once its migrated its network configuration is not showing as it was. but both ESXI are in same network and i want the same network IP address and mac address on the migrated VM.
So that i can shut down the older VM permanently.
Also suggest me the way how i can migrate these vms qickly because using vcenter standalone converter it is taking too much time.
Thanks,
Vikas Pandey
Hi
It would be helpful if you could post the versions of the products in use and network/storage configuration of the ESXi hosts.
Eg Do the ESXi host have the same shared storage? Common Vmotion network etc.
There are a number of way to achieve what you are looking for - but the 'best' way will depend on your setup.

As an additional option, you can utilize free tool called Quick Migration (included in the free Veeam edition). Using this utility, you can migrate VMs between host, datastores or both with minimum downtime. We did similar things several times in different environments, and the migration tool always worked flawlessly.
Cheers.
