Hi everyone,
I have managed XCP in the past but i'm not sure what's the best practice to do this:
I have a VM that needs to be transfered on a vmware infrastructure because the customer has vmware in all his other servers apart from this one.
Now, he wants to keep the same hardware, so i must format xcp and install vmware. During this time he must not stop working.
My plan is simple: i bring him a temporary server with xcp 8.2.1 installed, live migrate the machine with XEN Orchestra, format the old host.
Since xen orchestra runs on this very host that i must format, will the new host run just as fine without Xen Orchestra? Do i have to detach the temporary host from xen before formatting? Do i have to install xen on the temporaty host as well or (since it's temporary), i can just manage it with XCP-Ng Center without issues?
If you have better solutions, i thank you in advance.
