Hi,<br />
<br />
yes Esxi are on SAN and we have Vcenter Server also<br />
<br />
&nbsp;if we Used Vmotion for migration what precautions should we take before migration and how.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; or<br />
<br />
Can we export and import Domain Controller without any issues. i have heard that Export and import to OVF/OVA template, will face issues after restore as it is DC server. i am not sure.<br />

If you have a SAN, and vCenter Server, and you have a license for vMotion, there are no precautions, just right click and Migrate.<br />
<br />
vMotion is designed, very stable to migrate live VMs.<br />
<br />
Make sure that networking on both hosts is setup identically.....but there are pre verification checks performed by vCenter Server before you vMotion, call them pre-flight checks, or pre vMotion checks.

Migration of virtual DC 2012r2 to different Host

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
