Move virtual machine from one physical esxi to another
We have 2 physical machines both running VMware ESXi 4.1.0
One of the machines has 4 virtual machines on it, the other is a brand new fresh install with none.
I need to move 2 of the virtual machines from one box to the other and never done this before..
There is some software on the machine called Veeam, I had a play around and managed to do a scheduled copy and it copied the virtual machine from one machine to the other, however when I login to the fresh machine i still see no machines on it...
Am i missing a step ?
Many thanks,
Shaun

I wear a lot of hats...
"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing.

This is the thing, all i see on the new machine is the IP of the server....
