5.9 Moving VMs
When you need to change a VM’s host server, you can either move or migrate the VM:
Moving:
For host resource reallocation.
Physically moves all of the VM’s files and its image from one host server to another while the
VM is shut down. When you start the VM, it starts from its new repository.
Migrating:
For host server availablility. For more information, see
Section 5.10, “Migrating
VMs,” on page 110
.
Transfers just the VM’s instance in RAM from one host server to another (essentially keeping
the VM live), assuming that both hosts have shared access to the VM’s files and image. When
you shut down the VM and later restart it, it restarts from the new host server. In other words,
its files are not moved, but it now has a new host server association.
For issues related to a VM being moved from outside of the VM Client, such as within PlateSpin
Orchestrate’s Development Client, or from a command line, see
“VM is out of sync in the VM
Client after it was moved” on page 150
.
Review the following sections to move a VM:
Section 5.9.1, “Prerequisites,” on page 108
Section 5.9.2, “Moving a VM,” on page 109
5.9.1 Prerequisites
In order for a move to work, the following conditions must exist:
The provisioning adapter for the VM being moved must match the repository’s enabled
provisioning adapters. (For this information, see the
Summary details tab
for the repository.)
The target repository’s device must have enough disk space available to hold the VM’s files
and image.
If the VM has a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM defined for it, it must be accessible through shared
storage to the target host server. Otherwise, the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM is not included in the
move and the moved VM cannot start. In that case, you should remove the CD-ROM or DVD-
ROM from the VM before continuing with
Section 5.9.2, “Moving a VM,” on page 109
.
