Configure vMotion data movement

After you mount a database for instant access, use the Instant Access > Active Mounts page configure vMotion data movement.

About this task

NOTE Once vMotion is started, you cannot cancel the vMotion data movement.

Steps

  1. From the left panel, click Active Mounts.

    The Active Mounts page appears as shown in the following figure.

  2. To update the table and list available datastores, click Show datastores.
  3. Select the datastore to which you want the virtual disk to be migrated.
    The vdisks will be allocated from the selected datastore. Ensure that the database administrator checks with the data center administrator or backup administrator about the appropriate datastore to select.
  4. In the Disk Provisioning field, select the vdisk provisioning mode to be used for the vMotion operation.
  5. Click Migrate.

Results

The virtual disk is migrated to the selected datastore by using storage vMotion. You can observe the progress in the Monitor window. Once the vMotion is complete, the mount is removed from the Active Mounts page as the databases are then on permanent VMDKs on the vCenter datastore.
