Move Application Migration

I am setting up Nutanix Move. I need to migrate from ESXi to AHV and am looking for the VDDK. The link in the manual returns a 404 error. Logging in with my Broadcom account doesn't change the result. Do you know where I can find it? https://developer.broadcom.com/sdks/vmware-virtual-disk-development-kit-vddk/latest

Hello,I have tested Nutanix a bit and would like to know if it is possible to move VMs from Nutanix to Proxmox?I have found the discs from one VM, but I would have to convert the files to gpt etc.?So that I can use the Windows VM in Proxmox again?

It likes it is not supported with the tool MOVE. Machine is migrated but never boot as hdd is never found. Anybody checked and got a solution as Nutanix Support can not?Thanks in advance!

Hey all. I’m in the midst of testing “Moving” vm’s from ESXi to Nutanix AHV. One of these is testing the move of a vCenter Appliance to an AHV cluster. So far the VCSA does not come up cleanly, seems it loses it’s connection to storage/boot device. I’ve been trying multiple variations of the Move settings, in particular: Bypass Guest Operations on Source VM’s, Retain MAC Address and Skip CDROM AdditionHas anyone successfully completed a Move of a VCSA? Any hints/tips? This may be needed as we vacate ESXi clusters.

So I’m currently in the middle of a Nutanix Deployment and are in the process of setting up our Nutanix Move 6.2 application for our new Nutanix environment.  The goal is to start migration of VMs off our existing VMWare 8 environment.  I noticed that Nutanix Move requires VMware’s VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) in order to safely snapshot, clone and restore VMs for third party developers.Originally I put a ticket in with Nutanix and as part of their KB about setting Nutanix Move up.  It mentioned going to the latest VDDK available on Broadcom’s page and downloading it.  Unfortunately that link no longer works:   So next step was to open a ticket with Broadcom’s support.  Broadcom’s response was the VDDK (Virtual Disk Development Kit) has moved to VMWare’s TAP portal (Technology Alliance Program).  You have to be enrolled with a support contract.  Which I am and just updated my profile to enroll in the TAP program. I later received an email as part of the onboarding process for TA

Derek Seaman blogged about the now renamed Move 3.0 on his site. https://www.derekseaman.com/2019/03/nutanix-move-3-0-formerly-xtract-for-vms-now-ga.html Here is the crux...New to Move 3.0: Move services are now Dockerised and all Move and Move Agent Services now run as Docker Containers. Architecturally, this is an important milestone as we “servicify” move and provide the ability to add/update features without much service disruption as well as providing flexibility to run Move anywhere.

Hi everyone, Is Nutanix Move 3.x is available for download in CE Edition ?

Hello all,05 months ago, I faced from some difficulties to perform P2V to AHV for UeFi servers : I performed P2V using VMware Converter to migrate to an ESXi server; and after I used “move” to migrate to AHV. While booting the VM, I saw a black screen and nothing else appeared on the screen.As I said above, it happened 05 months ago; At this time, Nutanix did not support migration of Uefi servers yet.Since the release of AOS5.11 and Move 3.3, Nutanix supports the migration of Uefi servers (As explained in the release notes).So I migrated AOS to the latest version (5.11.1) and used Move 3.3.1 to perform migrations of 03 servers that use Uefi.In spite of that, the VMs displays nothing while booting...even if I wait for several minutes, I get nothing.In PRISM, I switched the boot mode to BIOS and after to Uefi, but I got the same results.In vCenter, I switched the boot mode to BIOS before performing migration. After Migration (using Move 3.3.1), the results are the same. Could you help me

Looking for advise, Trying to add a Hyper-V host to Move 3.5.0, but just getting the following error and nothing else, Hyper-V operation [Get Process Info] failed. Getting no other alerts/Errors.

Hi Experts!We are planning a migration from an existing AHV cluster (AOS 6.x) to a new AHV cluster running AOS 7.5.1, and we need to migrate our Active Directory Domain Controllers.We are aware that the official Move documentation states that DC migration is "not recommended but can be performed with some limitations", and that AOS 6.7+ supports VM Generation ID to reduce USN rollback risks.We have a few questions :Has anyone successfully migrated Domain Controllers using Nutanix Move in an AHV-to-AHV scenario on AOS 6.7 or higher ?Did you experience any USN rollback, replication issues, or post-migration AD inconsistencies ?Any specific pre/post-migration checks you would recommend for this use case ?Constraint: We need to keep the same IP addresses for our DCs after migrationThanks in advance

Hi all Nutanix experts, we're scheduled to migrate our infrastructure from VMware to Nutanix in two weeks. We're going to set up two Nutanix clusters (Production and DR) with full replication.We use a virtual Windows Server 2022 as our current domain controller. We also have a backup domain controller (virtual server). According to some of the Nutanix documentation, migrating the domain controller using Move could cause issues. Has any of you had a similar situation? If I don't want to set up a domain controller on a physical server, what's the solution for this issue?

Hi everyone,We are currently assessing our migration strategy to move workloads from VMware to Nutanix infrastructure. However, we recently noticed that public access to the VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) has been restricted/removed.Given this recent change, we have a few questions for the community regarding how it affects Nutanix Move and our upcoming migration plans: Impact on Existing Integrations: Does this restriction impact any already running or existing VMware integrations with Nutanix Move, or is it strictly limited to new deployments/re-installations? Obtaining VDDK Files for New Setups: If we want to deploy a new Nutanix Move setup today, how can we properly acquire the required VDDK files? Do we need to raise a support case or request direct assistance from Broadcom? Functionality After Upload: Once we manage to source and upload the correct VDDK file into Nutanix Move, will all migration features and functionalities (such as Changed Block Tracking / increm

A client has requested to migrate a Windows Server VM (Domain Controller) installed in a VMWare ESXi cluster to the Nutanix cluster with AHV. I have only migrated Windows and Linux VMs with Nutanix Move, in this case I do not know if it is advisable to do the migration. I have not found any information on this matter. I would appreciate if you could tell me if it is possible to migrate the Domain Controller without any problems or if it is advisable to create a new VM configured as a Domain Controller in Nutanix. If it is possible to do the task with Nutanix Move, how should I do it? Thank you.

We have a couple production SQL servers on our ESXi Cluster that need be transitioned to our new Nutanix Cluster. Nutanix Best Practices indicates that the SQL servers should be created new on the Nutanix Cluster instead of doing a VM move from ESXi to AHV. I am aware that Nutanix had Xtract Db for awhile that was supposed to make moving a SQL instance possible but they have since discontinued the product. I must assume they had issues with it. My question is what are the technical implications of using Nutanix Move to "move" the SQL VM from ESXi to AHV? I have used the tool to move a number of non-SQL VMs without any issues. Knowing that the underlying Hyper-visor components are changing and the VirtIO drivers must be installed before the move and then NGT installed after the move, what might the issue be that discourages or prevents a SQL VM cross-hyper-visor move? The SQL version is 2016 Standard with no mirroring or Always on Availability. Just standalone SQL. We hav

hello when reaching the 4th step the wizard keep showing loading for both source and target network without progress.

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..

I just migrated a VM with Windows 2008 R2 from ESXi 6.0 to AHV but I got blue screen when I turned it on in nutanix cluster. I used move version 3.4.1 somebody knows what happened.

Hello, I want to migrate vm from vmware vsphere 6.7 to AHV. When i create source and target i find that connections to vcenter and ahv are ok. But, number discovered vm's on vsphere is 0 and "create a migration plan" button is greyed out. What is a problem? xtract 2.0.2. Regards, Mindaugas

Hello everyone,I am currently facing an issue and need assistance. I am unable to locate and download VDDK 6.0.3, which is required for Nutanix Move to Upload and migrate VMs from vSphere ESXi 5.1.I have already checked the VMware (Broadcom) website, but the minimum version available for download is VDDK 6.7.If anyone has the VDDK 6.0.3 file saved or knows an alternative source for obtaining it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share it with me.

How to migrate ESX VM with independent disks and PCIE to AHV

Long story short, W2016 server moving from HV to AHV. VirtIO drivers are installed (before migration) but whenever the machine boots after migrating to AHV, it's bsods with inaccessible boot device. If I go through the whole booting to recovery, deleting the driver and injecting the driver, it boots up but that's a lot of manual handling.When MOVE migrates to AHV it boots up as SATA drive then it seems to clone the disk and reattaches it as a SCSI drive. It boots to the desktop as SATA but then as a SCSI drive it fails, so the driver issue makes sense. The issue is why the drivers are not working when they're installed on the HV machine before migration and don't work after.

I attempted several times to move a test VM over and I am running into a issue with the Mount Container process. Is there a fix for this. I suspect it to be an Firewall issue, Any help would be appreciated.Failed VM Migration: prepare target: [[Location="/hermes/go/src/tgtagent/ahvtargetprovider.go:567", Msg="Error creating target path [Container="default-container-90861820611740", Err="exit status 32", Location="/hermes/go/src/libcloud/prism/ahvmountimpl.go:146"] Container mount failed (error=0x4012)"] Target agent error (error=0x4003)]

Sorry for this noob question but in the instruction says VDDK library. When I select the tar file the upload fails. If I unzip the folder I am not sure what file to select. Any tips?
