Quick Migration (VXrail)

[lando_uk]

Hi
Just a quicky, I searched through the forums without much luck. Can i use Quick Migration to get VMs from an ancient vmware 6.0 + SAN to a new VXrail solution? I don't mind cold migrations, nothing really has to stay powered on.

Thanks

Sure, this is the purpose of Quick Migration.

Yes you can. Just keep in mind to consider Veeam backup Proxy best practices after migration, e.g. On vxrail you need min 1 veeam proxy on each node.

Hello,
@Hindawi: where did you find that outdated recommendation? I changed it in a couple of places, but it looks like it's still written somewhere

We discontinued the recommendation because the original idea of it was to save bandwidth. That was during times where 1Gbit/s networks with VSAN were still common. Technically it's still valid, but due to increased bandwidth, it became irrelevant. So we decided to remove the recommendation in favor of easier management

Best regards,
Hannes
