Hi,

same migration one year ago:

  1. Mount the Nutanix datastore to the new Vxrail cluster.(you can expose the Nutanix datastore in NFS)
  2. Shutdown the Vm's in Nutanix , registered in the new cluster and poweron on Vxrail.
  3. Storage vmotion from Nutanix datastore to the new Vxrail datastore.
  4. Unmount the Nutanix datastore

There are minimal downtime of the VM, only a shutdown-poweron, but far better then Veeam!

No Events found!
