Hi Guys,
As known the feature to Migrate to another cluster is moved from the
GUI but available in the API.
Is there a possibility to bring it back in the GUI or make it an
option we can enable ? When provisioning servers it's nice to migrate
to another cluster when you per accident provisioned to the wrong
cluster.
As this was a real feature, why remove improvements ?
Hi Matt,
unfortunately it was a very frequent cause of mistakes which lead us to the decision to
hide it more. Such change for running VM cannot be supported reliably unless you manually
make sure that all the settings match exactly on both clusters. These checks are feasible
when the VM is Down, which is still allowed.
The problems originating from incorrect usage are simply not worth it as they are
difficult to diagnose, and sometimes quite obscure. This feature was really only meant for
EL 6 to EL 7 transition - which is over for 3 releases now - as a workaround to
then-non-existant InClusterMigration policy
We will still keep it in API, though I’d discourage you from using it. If you need to
correct the provisioned cluster you better do it the supported way of Edit VM and power
cycling the guest, that’s the only way we can effectively test it and guarantee the
functionality.
Thanks,

I think many of us will appreciate to have it back.
Thanks!
Matt
