Hi, I need to migrate an existing single/stand alone ESXi server (with 9 VMs) to a new 2 nodes cluster that I'm going to setup soon.
The old host is running VMware ESXi 5.1 U3, the new cluster will use VMware ESXi 6.5 U2.
Please note that I'm planning to move to the new cluster with all the VMs down,
I do not need (nor want!) to migrate any live system.
A full weekend downtime is not an issue and hopefully enough.
The old system has only local storage, the new cluster has a SAN, of course the two systems are connected via network.
I also have in place Veeam Backup & Replication (Enterprise), but licensed only for 2 hosts (was 1 host, upgraded to 2 hosts for the new cluster).
What is the best/suggested/easier way to migrate the VMs to the new cluster?
Thank you in advance.
Enrico
