I have a production server that hosts 3 VM's over Esxi 5.5. Back in the day, I used a customized HP image to get ESXi installed on the Proliant server.
I have purchased a new server with Esxi 6.7 installed and wonder if I can move my 3 VM's hosted on the old HP server onto my new server (running ESXi 6.7).
The HP server sits 1500Km away so is challenging to test.
Did anyone come across any challenges removing VM's from one Host to another running different ESXi versions?
Thank you
You won't have any problems in the transportation process, but need to decide which transportation method use.
You can install vCenter Server Appliance then migrate with Storage vMotion.
If you do not want to install vCenter, you can turn the VMs power off and get an OVF copy to export (more on OVF here on vmware.com's site). You can then add this again from the deploy OVF section.
Link below for Vcenter installation.
