Hello
I need to migrate vmware NFS datastore to another FAS array. It could be offline migration. I don't want to click "Ad to Inventory" for every VM.
What is the best way?
I'd like to use qtree SnapMirror, but ESX does not recognize SnapMirrored datastore.
I can create new Datastore and mount snapmirrored but I'll have to do "Add to inventory" for each VM in datastore.
Even if I snapmirror everything to a destinaton qtree then move VMs to the same qtree as on source (in my case root qtree) then change IP and volume FSID. VMware still does not recognize datastore.
SnapMirror: SourceFiler:/vol/vmware_nfs -> DestinationFiler:/vol/vmware_nfs/qtree
Move VMs to volume root: mv /vol/vmware_nfs/qtree/* /vol/vmware_nfs/
Change FSID Destination FSID = Source FSID
Change IP: Destination IP = Source IP
Thank you.
Nick.
PS.
I managed to do it with iSCSI by changing SCSI id, but no luck with NFS.
