VMmove between ESXI Nodes
Prerequisites
- Create a directory named "migration" in LM Manager.
- An NFS share with read-write permission to be mounted on the manager and ESXi
servers.
- Mount the above NFS share on the LM manager on the created folder 'migration'. For
example: mount 10.2.16.9:/vol/public/DATA/cubit_migration /migration.
- The same share should be added as 'migration' datastore on all ESXi hosts (this can be
done using vSphere client).
Example
Steps to be done on ESXI Server:
- Login to and fill in the following information.
- Server: NFS server IP address. For example, 10.x.x.x.
- Folder: /vol/public/DATA/cubit_migration - Create a directory
named cubit_migration inside the NETAPP volume and make sure it
has read and write permissions.
- Datastore name should be "migration".
Steps to be done on LM Manager:
- mkdir migration
- mount 10.x.x.x:/vol/public/DATA/cubit_migration /migration
