Possible targets include hosts and fully automated DRS clusters in the same or another
vCenter Server system. If your target is a non-automated cluster, select a host within the non-
automated cluster.
Important If the virtual machine that you migrate has an NVDIMM device and virtual PMem hard
disks, the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resources. Otherwise, the
compatibility check fails and you cannot proceed further with the migration.
If the virtual machine that you migrate does not have an NVDIMM device, but it has virtual PMem
hard disks, the destination host or cluster must have available PMem resources, so that all PMem
hard disks remain stored on a PMem datastore. Otherwise, all the hard disks use the storage policy
and datastore selected for the configuration files of the virtual machine.
Important Migrating a virtual machine that has an NVDIMM device or a vPMem disk to a host that
does not have the proper license fails and leaves the virtual machine in an unmanageable state for 90
seconds. You can afterwards retry the migration and select a destination host that is licensed to use
PMem devices.
4 Select a destination network for all VM network adapters connected to a valid source network and
click Next.
You can click Advanced to select a new destination network for each VM network adapter connected
to a valid source network.
You can migrate a virtual machine network to another distributed switch in the same or to another
data center or vCenter Server.
5 Select the migration priority level and click Next.
Option Description
Schedule vMotion with high priority vCenter Server attempts to reserve resources on both the source and destination
hosts to be shared among all concurrent migrations with vMotion. vCenter Server
grants a larger share of host CPU resources. If sufficient CPU resources are not
immediately available, vMotion is not initiated.
Schedule regular vMotion vCenter Server reserves resources on both the source and destination hosts to
be shared among all concurrent migration with vMotion. vCenter Server grants a
smaller share of host CPU resources. If there is a lack of CPU resources, the
duration of vMotion can be extended.
6 Review the page and click Finish.
vCenter Server moves the virtual machine to the new host or storage location.
Event messages appear in the Events tab. The data displayed on the Summary tab shows the status
and state throughout the migration. If errors occur during migration, the virtual machines revert to their
original states and locations.
