Hi All,
I know this question has been asked before, by myself included. I was
hoping that someone has run through the exercise of moving the hosted
engine VM to a different storage domain. I have tried many routes, but the
backup and restore does not work for me.
The "standard answer" is backup and restore. Why does it not work?
Is there anybody that can perhaps give me some guidelines or a process I
can follow?
I didn't try that myself.
The best guidelines I can give you are: Try first on at a test system. Do
the backup on the real machine, create some isolated VM (isolated so that
it does not interfere with your hosts/storage) somewhere to be used as a
test host (or a physical machine if you have one), some storage somewhere,
and restore on it. Make it work. Document what you needed to do. Ask here
with specific questions if/when you have them. Then do on the production
setup.
Also clarify your needs. Do you need no-downtime for the VMs? If so, that's
more complex. If you don't, it might be enough/simpler to deploy a new
setup and just import the existing storage. Do you have HA VMs? etc.
The reason I need to move the HE VM is because we are decommissioning the
current storage array where the HE VM is located.
Good luck!
Best regards,
Thank you very much
