Chapter 10: Migrating Virtual Machines into VxRail
In Chapter 9, Active-Active Solution for VxRail, we had an overview of VxRail vSAN stretched clusters and their advantages. We learned how to deploy a vSAN stretched cluster on VxRail and how to use both VMware Site Recovery Manager and vSphere Replication to extend the disaster recovery feature on VxRail appliances across three locations.
In this final chapter, we will learn how to migrate virtual machines into VxRail appliances from the vSphere environment, including different migration methodologies based on various scenarios.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding migration methodologies for VxRail
- Migrating a virtual machine into VxRail with vSphere Replication
- Migrating a virtual machine into VxRail with Storage vMotion
