Migrating a virtual machine into VxRail with Storage vMotion
In this section, we will discuss the migration method of migrating a virtual machine by using VMware Storage vMotion. In Figure 10.18, we can see that there are two vSphere clusters. One is a standard vSphere cluster that is connected to a storage array through two SAN switches. The other is a VxRail cluster with four E560 nodes. Both clusters are managed by the same vCenter Server appliance:
Environment
Now we will discuss the hardware and software configuration for the scenario. The following table shows the hardware and software configuration in this environment. In this scenario, we will migrate a virtual machine into a VxRail cluster by using VMware Storage vMotion:
In the next section, we will discuss this migration process.
