esxi 4.1 server with hdd was replaced with ssd; al the vmwares on the esxi where running from our NAS.
I assumed that bwhen using vCenter:
- could take the server offline, install SSD, reinstall with esxi 4.1 and migrate all the vmware machines using vCenter.
Assumed this because vCenter can read out all the details of the esxi server even when it's offline and disconnected!!!
So after reinstall of esxi 4.1 added the Host to vCenter and wanted to migrate the old vmware machines to the "fresh" esxi 4.1 (which basicly is the same server, only HDD replaced with SSD).
Tried a migrate but this didn't work.
How can i migrate the server easily? (Offcource i can import the vmdk manually but that wasn't what i had in mind...)
Or can i easily import it on our new server. All the vmware are on a NFS share with a seperate folder for each vmware with all the needed files in it..
Replacing the HDD back doesn't make sense as i would need to transfer the vmware to a second server...
