27 ESXi Migration
28
28 How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration? 1.Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center 2.Start testing ESXi If you’ve not already deployed, there’s no better time than the present 3.Ensure 3 rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are. Bid farewell to agents! 4.Familiarize with ESXi remote management options Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI, … 5.Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing
