Now that I have three virtual machines one per esxi host let's take a look at moving them around

Dinar environments

We'll go back to host and clusters

Remember earlier we created our vmotion interfaces so each one of the esxi host

Specified for vmotion and it's on the vmotion TCP IP stack they're all in the same subnet range

And go to migrate actually several different types of migrations that we can do with our running

Virtual machine is referred to as a v motion but we can also do a cold migration which is when we move versus machine that's powered off

When we move virtual machine that is powered on there are some compatibility checks that have to happen we have

Have to have the same resources available on the other side

In terms of our network storage any other devices it's connected to like a CD-ROM driver flash drive

Never anything like that it's connected to anything on a piece of physical Hardware we're not going to be able to be motion that virtual machine

In addition if it's a running virtual machines or trying to do a vmotion the CPUs have to be compatible

The CPA requirements tend to be pretty strict so even if they're in the same family different CPUs might not allow us

2 v motion over to machines we can use EVC to get around that if we need two things like clock speed cash size

Citizen the number of cores don't matter as long as there's enough to support a virtual machine

About vmotion this it'll perform all those compatibility checks for us and it'll warn us if there's a problem with the emotional virtual machine

The first one I'm going to change the computer resource only so I'm leaving the VM on the same storage and I'm just moving the Run

Onstage from one esxi host to another

So this one is currently running on 75 and I'll move it over to 76

I can modify the network if I need to but I don't need to in this case always leave it at high priority

Click on finish and then we just monitor our recent tasks

This should go pretty quick what's happening at this point is we're copying the contents of memory from one yes

Text I host to another

Now that it's complete

I click on

76 and I go to Virtual machines I'll see that it has two running virtual machines on it

Not want to move Linux VM to from

The vsan cluster over to the physical cluster

I went ahead and modify the physical cluster I added a

The Infernal adapter to it for vmotion in the same way that we can figure the other ones earlier so that part is correct however I'm going to

I run into another problem

I try to migrate this virtual machine

Migrated to the physical server what's going to give me an error because there is no distributed switch on

On the physical server and I can't add it to the distributed switch because it doesn't have enough uplinks so I need to do something different

Cancel out of this

We're going to edit settings on the virtual machine

Premier I can edit all of the hardware settings on the virtual machine but in this case I just want to change it to BBM Network

They're both on VLAN zero so it's not going to create any issues for me to migrate its network adapter

Now it's on the VM Network which is also available on the physical host

And also has a VM Network so now when I go to migrate the virtual machine

Select my physical server

And it passes the validation

I need to modify the storage because the vsan datastore is not available and I'm going to start on the local data store

And I'm going to make sure that it is then provisions

Leave it on VM Network

High priority

Click on finish

Now this vmotion is going to take longer because in addition to moving the contents of memory I also have to move the

The storage from the vsan data store to the local data store on the physical esxi host

Once it's completed noticed that Linux VM to is now running on the physical cluster

Let's go ahead in my great that back

I can take a slight shortcut by grabbing the VM and just moving it

Not going to fill in some of the information for me

I need to set it back to my one hose storage policy

Bring it back to the virtual esxi host

Next up going to take a look at snapshots
