Move virtual machine from one physical esxi to another
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
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.
Attached 2 screen shots...1 showing the view from Veam to show the files did copy over and one from the vsphere showing i cannot see the store....or the virtual machine
many thanks
