Live migration from VMware not working, only when I power off the VM
-
Hi All.
I definitely had this working in our POC, but now I am using it in anger I cant seem to get this to work without powering down the VM in vCenter first;
The VM gets created in XO, but it happens instantly and there is no storage migration.
Any clues much appreciated please! -
Please review our Vmware migration checklist -- https://help.vates.tech/kb/en-us/37/133
Depending on your type of datastore, it is possible that you need to perform a cold migration where the VM is shutdown prior to attempting the V2V process. Also, the creation of a snapshot is a requirement unless you are migrating from a VSAN.

@Danp Oh thanks, that makes sense, though I am not sure how I got it to work in the POC...
Cold migration will be fine for the time being anyway
