asked on

networks on different hosts

I'm looking to vsphere to create a new production VM but first put it into a host / data store that is for testing. The network is limited to a few vlan options and not the production vlan

Question is after i get everything built, would I be able to move this VM to a new host and data store and virtual switch?

Do you pick the new virtual lan after you right click the VM and choose "migrate"? Or is it more difficult than that?

Yeah I would need to change host and datastore after the VM is built.
So I would just need to add the vLan to the host I'm migrating from that matches the vLan that exists on the destination host?

The source datastore does not appear to be on the destination host however

I will have to figure out a way to do that but at this point I just realized there was actually a datastore on the target host that had plenty of free space so I'm going to put the VM there instead of having to migrate it.
much safer!
Good luck
