With the move and migrate workflows, you can migrate virtual machines.
To access these workflows, navigate to and enter the vcenter, virtual_machine_management and move_and_migrate tags in the workflow search box.
| Workflow Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Mass migrate virtual machines with storage vMotion | Uses Storage vMotion to migrate a single virtual machine, a selection of virtual machines, or all available virtual machines. |
| Mass migrate virtual machines with vMotion | Uses vMotion, Storage vMotion, or both vMotion and Storage vMotion to migrate a single virtual machine, a selection of virtual machines, or all available virtual machines.
Note: vCenter Server does not allow storage vMotion and vMotion in the same pass for a powered on virtual machine. You must power off the virtual machine to use storage vMotion and vMotion in the same pass.
|
| Migrate virtual machine with vMotion | Migrates a virtual machine from one host to another by using the MigrateVM_Task operation from the vSphere API. |
| Move virtual machines to another vCenter Server | Moves a list of virtual machines to another vCenter Server system. |
| Quick migrate multiple virtual machines | Suspends the virtual machines if they are powered on and migrates them to another host using the same storage. |
| Quick migration of virtual machine | Suspends the virtual machine if it is powered on and migrates it to another host using the same storage. |
| Relocate virtual machine disks | Relocates virtual machine disks to another host or datastore while the virtual machine is powered off by using the RelocateVM_Task operation from the vSphere API. |
