Original plans do not always work out as intended. Goals change over time, new features are introduced. The modern world is an ever-changing one. You decide to migrate Prism Central VM (or even all three of them in case of a Scale Out PC deployment) to a different container but alas see no ‘migrate’ button. You can still do it.
- Find VM disk files
- Power off the VM/VMs
- Create a new Image for each VM disk
- Create a new VM/VMs using acli or using Prism UI. Use image created in Step 3 as a source for the disk.
- Power on new VM/VMs and check functionality. If static IP address was used you may need to manually configure it one more time.
- Delete old VM if it is not needed anymore
- Delete Image if it is not needed anymore
That’s right, these are the same steps used for migration of a regular (User VM) between containers.
