Hi All,

Is it possible to bring up ESXI Host using san lun copy

Example:

1. Install ESXI

2. Trun off ESXI host

3. Copy Lun to New host (Trun off ESXI host)

4. After Lun copy successfull and Trun on  New ESXI Host

It will work? If yes any considerations to make production ready ESXI host?

No, that won't work. ESXi installation cannot be cloned and either restored or provisioned from a new instance.
