are listed. For para-virtualized guests, only destination hosts running the same kernel are listed. Note that
hardware virtualization must be enabled in the BIOS for some virtual machine hosts.
NOTE: Virtual machines in a paused state are not valid for the copy operation on VMware ESXi and Citrix
XenServer virtual machine hosts.
Moving a virtual machine guest
Moving virtual machine guests
Only virtual machine guests created using simple file storage can be moved.
You can move the virtual machines hosted on VMware ESX Server,VMware Server, Citrix XenServer, and
Microsoft Hyper-V server using the following options:
• Move—The virtual disk is copied to the host. You must stop the virtual machine for this move operation
type.
• SAN Move—The virtual disk is not copied to the target host. The target host accesses the virtual disks
using storage area network (SAN) connectivity. You must stop the virtual machine for this move operation
type. SAN Moves cannot be performed using Xen on RHEL or SLES.
SAN Move is also supported on Microsoft Hyper-V R2 servers.
• Live Move—The powered-up virtual machine is moved using VMware VMotion Technology for VMware
ESX systems and Citrix XenMotion Technology for Citrix XenServer virtual machines. Live Move is also
supported on Microsoft Hyper-V R2 servers.
• Quick Move—The Microsoft Hyper-V server virtual machine is moved using the Microsoft Quick Migration
technology. (Applicable only for Microsoft Hyper-V server.)
When performing a Live Move, if the CMS and vCenter Server are in different networks, a delay might occur
when the list of possible target hosts is created.
Other notes:
• To minimize the occurrence of orphan managed systems, the name of the virtual machine in Citrix
XenServer host must be the same as the node name of the virtual machine discovered in CMS.
• Insight Control virtual machine management supports Quick Move when a Microsoft Hyper-V server
virtual machine is configured for high availability (HA) in a Microsoft Hyper-V server failover cluster.
• Insight Control virtual machine management supports SAN Move of virtual machines on a shared
storage in resource pool environments for Citrix XenServer.
To move a virtual machine guest:
1. On the HP SIM All Systems page, select the virtual machine guest to be moved.
2. From the HP SIM toolbar, select Deploy→Virtual Machine→Move Virtual Machine.
3. Verify the source virtual machine, and then click Next.
If a quick move is initiated, a message appears indications to power down the virtual machine and
ensure it is HA enabled and part of the cluster before proceeding.
4. Select the target virtual machine host from the list of authorized licensed hosts, and then click Next.
