Feature Request: Re-map VM network option in Quick Migration

Post by rwatt » 2 people like this post

I've seen a few requests for this over the years, but it's not an option as of 12.1 that I can find. I'd like to throw this feature request back into the ring, because I got burned by this today. During tests of VMs being quick migrated from vSphere 7 to vSphere 8, they lost network connectivity because the network names do not match up at destination cluster.

New cluster has multiple VLANs configured, so a network might be named "VM Network 277" whereas the same network in the source cluster is "VM Network". So after the move, the VM doesn't have a network connected to it. Obviously the easy fix is to rename the destination network to match and change it back after, but it'd be easier to have this be an option in the Quick Migration wizard.

Hello Richard

Thank you for the request.

May I ask, why you don't use Veeam Replica Jobs for the migration?
Replica Jobs will allow network remapping and would also allow you to control better when the failover happens.
I'm positive It would be helpful for your migration project.

Best,
Fabian
