AHV Cluster VMs Migrate in to the ESXi on Nutanix Cluster


Forum|alt.badge.img

I want to Migrate AHV Cluster all VMs in to ESXi on Nutanix Cluster, can you please confirm which solution we used for further activity.

Hi @SantoshBavkar - I assume you mean two separate Nutanix clusters, one running AHV (the source) and one ESXi (the target)?

Assuming this is correct you can setup DR between the two clusters and failover the workloads from Cluster A to Cluster B (cross hypervisor DR is supported).  Assuming you don’t have AdvRep licenses this is done through Protection Domains in PE - you will have to manually start all VMs in the target cluster once the PD has been failed over so could be quite disruptive.

 You can use Veeam Backup to backup AHV VMs and restore them to ESXi.
