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

You may need to add those virtual machines to the inventory.
So connect to the ESX host server using the vSphere Client (GUI), and then browse the datastore, select the VMX file, and right click and select Add to Inventory.

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