Hello, Team

Updated!!!

Please, i have a prospect with this exact requirement.

I got more clarity!!

 

The VMs are hosted on VmWare VCloud (DC in London), and they are looking to migrate the VMs to EXSI host (managed with VCenter in a DC in Lagos).

 

How do one go about it?

I have a clearer picture now but i need inputs.

Hi @Mubaraq,

VMs protected from VMware VCloud hypervisor or vCenter based hypervisor configured with VCloud, can be restored to different vCenter. Protect those in London, aux copy to Lagos then restore to Lagos DC in same or different vCenter.

As @Damian Andre mentioned make sure to have VM h/w version compatibility in both vCenter’s ESXi servers.

Gopinath

Hi @Mubaraq,

It should be possible. We support backing up VMs running on VMware Cloud on AWS. From there you can copy the data back down to a nearby on-premises location and perform a restore to the local ESXi/vCenter environment. You should theoretically be able to use live sync / DR replication options to have near time replication and use the failover option to perform the final migration.

The only thing I am not sure if, is if the hosted version virtual hardware is higher than your on-premises version then the restore may not work - so its worth setting up a test. Worst case your could recreate the VM and only restore the data, not ideal but it could work.

Thank you very much @Damian Andre and @Gopinath for your contributions.

I will propose a POC for the deployment so we can test optimally.

Will revert
