![]() ![]() ![]() If the copied vCenter cannot connect to the VDS in DC2 then the copied vCenter cannot work but VDS needs vCenter. ![]() The copied vCenter will not be able to connect to the VDS in DC2 because it is not available. With the vCenter powered off for copying, the VDS will not be available for selection in DC2.Shutting down the vCenter VM, copying out the VM files from the source datastore to an intermediate storage and then copying back to the destination datastore will take very long and causes extended downtime (remember the source storage is having performance issue). Using vCenter Converter to do a V2V does not work because it detected the destination host is managed by the vCenter and prevented it. vMotion without shared storage feature does not work. Copying the vCenter’s VM files from DC1’s storage to DC2’s.There are basically two major challenges in migrating the vCenter from DC1 to DC2. In DC2, vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) is being use. In DC1, there is only vSphere Standard Switch (VSS) so the vCenter is connected to VSS. I need to migrate the vCenter from DC1 to DC2 due to storage performance issue in DC1. There is no shared storage between the two Datacenters. The vCenter is a virtual machine in DC1 Datacenter. I have a vCenter managing two Datacenter (DC1 and DC2). ![]()
