Export datastore to esxi in different vcenter

[Stefano Colombo]

Is it possible to export simplivity datastore to hosts in different vcenter ?

Hello Stefano,

Unfortunately it is not possilbe to export Simplivity datastores between vCenters using traditional means. The best option available would be to create a new datastore on the destination location and use Storage VMotion to transfer over the required data. Tedious I know.

Thanks,

Hello Stefano,

there is a way to achieve this using the dsv-nfsd-export-add command. If you`re familiar with the dsv- commands it`s easy to handle, if not please open a support request to have an engineer assisting you.

Pre-requirement is of cause either the storage kernel or the management kernel reachable from the node you want to share to
