Error moving Guest Virtual Machine from one ESX server to another

Asked by Menshen in VMware

Tags: , , , ,

Hi, I have 2 ESX3 servers without VMotion or Virtual Center, and I need to move a VM Guest from ESX1 to ESX2, I followed the instructions on this page:

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=10102&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=28912109&stateId=0%200%2028908514

included the instruction to enable root ssh login, but when I try to apply the command to move the VM Guest I receive the following error:


root@esx1 root# scp -r /vmfs/volumes/RAID5/vmguest/ root@esx2:/vmfs/RAID5/
ssh: connect to host esx2 port 22: Connection refused
lost connection
root@esx1 root#

I imagine it could be a simple error of opening some port at ESX2, but I'm a complete newbie at VMware ESX and Linux.Start Free Trial
