ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser V16.8 / AdvancedCopy Manager V16.8 Operation Guide for VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes

3.4.3 Migration of Virtual Machine

Migrate a virtual machine.

The vSphere Web Client operation procedure is as follows:

1. Select the target virtual machine.

2. Right-click or click Migrate... from the Action pane.

Point

• The policy applied to the migration operation can be specified. Therefore, the pre-migration policy can be inherited or other policies can be applied.

• When specifying storage migration using Storage vMotion, if the "Virtual Machine Backup" property in the policy is also specified to be changed, it remains as before changed. Therefore, upon completion of Storage vMotion, reapply the policy with the following procedure:

  1. Select the virtual machine that performed Storage vMotion.

  2. Click Policies on the Manage tab.

  3. Click Edit VM Storage Policy.

  4. Click OK.

• When migrating a virtual machine between VM hosts using Storage vMotion or vSphere HA, virtual machine is automatically registered on the ETERNUS SF system by being powered on. At the same time, other virtual machines than VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes, which are on the VM host where the virtual machine exists, are also automatically registered.
