Migrating from Nutanix to VXrail
Dears,
I have running nutanix hyperconverged servers running on ESXI 6.7 and the company just purchased VXrail that running vmware 7.0
the partner suggesting to migrate using veeam backup which will take time and downtime
i was wondering if anyone knows a better way to migrate without downtime.
Hi,
same migration one year ago:
- Mount the Nutanix datastore to the new Vxrail cluster.(you can expose the Nutanix datastore in NFS)
- Shutdown the Vm's in Nutanix , registered in the new cluster and poweron on Vxrail.
- Storage vmotion from Nutanix datastore to the new Vxrail datastore.
- Unmount the Nutanix datastore
There are minimal downtime of the VM, only a shutdown-poweron, but far better then Veeam!
