Hi All.

We are in the process of migrating virtual machines from VMware to Hyper-V on DMA agents, there is no problem if two agents are connected by failover redundancy and we can control the switching and we always have an active production DMA agent.

We also have several standalone agents without redundancy, which are constantly running in production.

I need a scenario to install new licenses for the DMA agent as efficiently and quickly as possible to minimize the production downtime.

Is it possible to have the DMA agent on a VMware machine running continuously? This means that the virtual machine is copied for migration from VMware to Hyper-V but powered off from the DataMiner ecosystem, migrated to Hyper-V (copy as new), then the old VMware virtual machine is disconnected and the Hyper-V virtual machine is powered on, new licenses are installed, and the virtual machine is joined to the DataMiner ecosystem. Both virtual machines will have the same IP addresses, the old machine will be powered off, and only then will the new Hyper-V virtual machine be connected to the network with a new license and the same DataMiner ID.

We will only have a break during the installation of new licenses on the new Hyper-V virtual machine with the same ID and IP address.

Is this a realistic scenario? If not, please suggest another scenario.

Big thanks for help.
