PREPARATION / DEPLOYMENT / CONFIGURATION / MIGRATION

NUTANIX MOVE
ULTIMATE GUIDE
This is a question that often comes up in technical teams who want to migrate from an old infrastructure to Nutanix AHV: how can we easily migrate our virtual machines?

To answer this question, I decided to write a complete guide on the tool provided for free by Nutanix: Move.

You will find in this guide all the steps to follow to deploy the virtual appliance, add your target / source clusters, create your migration plans and migrate your virtual machines.

Happy reading!

It may happen that you host servers whose operating systems are not supported by Nutanix Move. In these rare cases, you will then have to proceed manually to migrate your virtual machines and you may encounter post-migration network issues.
