Setup enhanced linked mode between vCenter servers and perform a vMotion or Storage vMotion between the vCenter Servers, but this solution is not ideal when the source vCenter Server will get decommissioned.

This method, however, comes with a lot of caveats for instance in order to remove the ESXi hosts all the ports groups needs to be on Standard Switches so this requires a migration from VDS to VSS.

Remove the managed ESXi host from the source vCenter and add it to the target vCenter and then perform a regular vMotion.

Host migration to target vCenter Server:.

As most of you know, there is no easy way to live migrate a VM between different vCenter Servers that are not in Enhanced linked mode, which connects multiple vCenter Server systems together by using one or more Platform Services Controllers. I do not think that enough people are aware of this Fling, and that is really unfortunate.įirst I want to take a step back and provide some history as to how this came about.

You can then make changes to this config, think about this along the lines of mostly anything you can change in the VAMI interfaces. You capture the state of an existing vCenter Server by exporting the config in JSON format. This capability is based off of just the REST API. Think of it as a way to provide a desired state across all of your vCenter Servers in your organization for instance configuring authentication or backups, as well reverting back to a last known good configuration.

This should not be confused with host profiles. Lifecycle Management and Scaling vCenter Server Profiles:
