migrating boot lun

[tdubb123]

I need to migrate boot lun from one storage to another.

So my plan is

1. backup esxi config

2. reinstall esxi on new boot lun

3. add esxi server back into cluster

4. restore esxi config

would host profile do the same as a esxi config backup?

what about my dvswitch the host is on?

[admin]

Host profiles enables you to establish standard configurations (like, syslog server, NTP server, ssh settings etc) on multiple hypervisors in a vCenter. It wont copy the settings specific to a host like IP address, hostname etc.  vCenter is required to enable Host Profile feature.

Whereas ESXi config backup will copy the settings of the host. It will help you to save in configuring the host after a re-install.
