Migrate ESXi VM to AHV using Nutanix Move Tool | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Hi Does anyone here who have migrated VM from ESXI To AHV using Nutanix Xtract tool?

THe ESXI does not have a Vcenter ..

Ive read that A Vcenter is require to migrate a Esxi VM to AHV..
@Jay.Salvacion not sure if you are still interested in this, but if you still have a need for help with this, DM me and I can provide you with a tech preview of Move that supports migrations from individual ESX hosts. Alternatively, you can install an eval copy of vCenter to use the current GA build of Move.

Yes I just started working on this..

the migration project meeting started this morning... and I have tested a few alternatives.

I've also read all listed files that were supported

" raw, vhd, vhdx, vmdk, vdi, iso, and qcow2 disk formats. "



I had few of these -- vmdk, vhdx.

and a .vbk format -(which i got from veeam backup(our client actually uses this tool )

but i can't have these 3 disk formats working..!









Now the challenge here is to migrate a VM -- from exsi which already has a Vcenter

without a downtime to Cloud-AHV







-- I end up installing Nutanix Move a while ago --

but It says on the documentations that there will be a downtime during its cut-over process

which will take a few minutes -



and yes if you have time - im very much willing to see the preview you wanted to show..
@Jay.Salvacion , the good news is that the latest shipping release of Move 3.2, supports migrations from individual ESX hosts. This was just released so give it a try and let me know if you have any questions.
that would be a great option-- alright, will try this and share my everything here after the test
.
@jlaunier

I managed to upgrade the MOVE to 3.2 ...





will there be any problem if its ESX or ESXI??

IVe got ESXi 6.0 here.









Im a lil bit confused about the IP addressing of the Nutanix MOVE





Providing Source and Target

BLDG Site A :

Esxi Host with a private IP lets say 10.10.0.10


  • along with the other vm on a same subnet

BLDG Site B :

Where the Nutanix Cluster is located

with a CLUSTER Virtual IP - 172.19.19.19


  • Nutanix Move VM (stored at nutanix )





if i will give an IP address for the Nutanix MOVE

Should it be an extended IP from SITE A ?

or should it be an IP from the same subnet of the Cluster ?
