Message “Validate Succeeded” under compatibility confirms that this VM can be migrated to ESX02. Select the destination server to which you want to migrate this VM.įor this practical, we’ll migrate this VM to ESX02. Select the option of “Change Host” and click on next. Change Host and Change Datastore and one option which is disabled i.e. We can see two options that are enabled i.e. Right click the VM which you want to migrate from one ESXi host to another ESXi host and click on Migrate.Ī wizard would be started. It is must to host Virtual Machine on shared storage before we start the migration step.Īs we can see that our VM is in running state. We’ll migrate this Virtual Machine to another hypervisor i.e. In this practical, we can see that this Virtual Machine is hosted on ESX01 server and using Shared Storage i.e. Select the Virtual Machine that you want to migrate. Migrate Virtual Machine from one VMWare ESXi Server to another Server We need to enable it on all the Hypervisors on which we want to hot migrate our Virtual Machines. Please take a note that vMotion would not work if it’s enabled only on one ESXi server and not others. On the Management Network properties, on the general tab to enable vMotion.Ĭlick on Ok to close the Management Network properties and then click on close to close the vSwitch0 properties.įollow the same steps on all the VMWare ESXi hosts. By default it is disabled and we need to enable vMotion.

On the vSwitch0 properties, we can see that vMotion is disabled. VSwitch is the default virtual switch that gets created and all the newly created Virtual Machines by default host on this vSwitch 0. On the right pane, select configuration tab.Ĭlick on the properties of vSwitch0. Select the ESXi host on which you want to enable vMotion. Steps to enable vMotion using vCenter Server 6 Virtual Machine should not be using direct resources of Host e.g. All the Virtual Machines are hosted on Shared Storage.ģ. Shared storage must be connected to all the VMWare ESXi hosts.Ģ. In the old post, we have learned the steps to configure vCenter Server and storage vMotion.ġ. All the pre-prerequisites are explained below for your reference. However before we enable vMotion please ensure that you complete all the pre-requisites that are required for vMotion to work properly.

Besides that it needs to be enabled if we want DRS or HA to be enabled for our environment. Vmotion is the best feature that Organizations are using during planned maintenance. VMotion is required to hot migrate (powered on) Virtual Machine from one ESXi Host to another. In this post, we’ll learn the steps to configure vMotion using vCenter Server 6.
