introduction
in previous article vMotion Part I here : we have explained the concept of vMotion
in this article : we will practice vMotion in many perspective
- we will move VM file from local storage to ISCSI remote shared storage > storage vMotion
- then we will migrate running VM ut self from ESXI153 to ESX151
vMotion Setup LAB
please have a look to network diagram above
we have 3 ESXI server
each ESXI has local datastore with capacity 400GB
and ALL ESXI connected to shared storage NFS with capacity 2TB , as well as ISCSI with capacity 15TB
also we have VM running on ESXI153 on local datastore02-ESXI153
as seen below
VM currently running file
storage vMotion
we will migrate VM files HDD from local data store to shared storage ISCSI
Hot vMotion
now we move running VM computing [CPU,RAM] from ESXI153 to ESXI151
but first we will try to migrate VM with DVD inserted to check is vMotion allow DVD inserted
Conclusion
in past two articles vMotion Part 1 and Part 2 , we have have discussed the vMotion concept and type beside of some consideration
in part 2 we have seen how to make host vMotion from ESXI to another , and host how to migrate VM file HDD from Datastore to another
thank you
