Question:
I have 2 different VMWare environments; 1 production, 1 development.
Production has a Essentials Plus license (3 hosts&vcenter, host vmotion), Vcenter is a Linux appliance, located on a local drive of one of the hosts. Want to move it to our SAN (with or without shutting it down).
Development has a Essentials license (3 hosts&vcenter without vmotion), Windows VCenter. Located on local&nas, but need to move it to a SAN (and, with or without shutting down).
What is the best way to accomplish these tasks? Thought (in case of Linux appliance) something with shutting down > copy folder from datastore > local drive > san..
But maybe there are better ways to run this task.
Thanks in advance.
