Re: Vmotion

You cannot "vmotion a physical server".

VMotion transfers an active, running virtual machine from one running ESX server to a different running ESX server, provided that all technical requirements are met.

One of the requirements is to have a VMkernel IP interface on each ESX server that is enabled for VMotion traffic.

Re: Vmotion

You also need the same CPU in both servers.

EVC relaxes this requirement a bit.

Re: Vmotion

A good place to start would be the http://www.vmware.com/ site. Also, search Google for key words like:
vmware, vmotion, introduction

First few hits on Google include a number of youtube videos that purport to talk about VMware Vmotion.

Note: While I am an HPE Employee, all of my comments (whether noted or not), are my own and are not any official representation of the company

Re: Vmotion

you have 2 ESX server, running various VMs
and you want to move 1 VM from one ESX machine to other
If this is what you looking for

right click on machine there is a option vmotion select the destination machine and hit OK it would move the VM to to other machine.
If vMotion was not configured properly before you would get the error and u can fix it up.
VM would not be affected it would keep on running.

If you want to learn how VMOTION works you would like to see vmware knowledgebase.

Re: Vmotion

You should have vsphere installed to assist in vmotion functionality.

Re: Vmotion

Not sure what you are trying to say, but EVC is present in ESX 3.5 (Virtual Infrastructure) and VMotion is much older - I've used it in ESX 2.5.

Of course, for new installations it makes sense to use ESX 4 - which m.jamali does, if you reread the first paragraph.
