About Moving VME manager to another cloud

[Efe2]

Hello 

In my demo environment, there are 3 DL360 servers and 1 MSA 2060 storage running VM Essentials. Within the VM Essentials environment, there are two cloud environments. In the unused environment, there is a VME Manager, and I want to move and activate this VME Manager into the cloud where my actively used virtual machines reside.H

How can ı do that

Hi Efe2,

this will need some work. You wil have do the following, but you will eventually need an external location like NFS where you can reconfigure the VM to be relocated. If the VME is convert to Managed, you will have to "Remove from Control" the VM and shutdown gracefully over the host where it is running on.
Once that is done and you NFS is presented to both locations you have to dump the xml file of the VME into the NFS location undefine the VM, go to an host on the other cloud edit the XML(I would at this time suggest to have an additional copy of it) and align the mount point of that cluster for the NFS UUID. Once that is done define the VM, power it on and after around 5 mins you should see the VM in Discovered VMs on the particular server.
