Hi we are migrating the DMA VMs from one host to another host.
Kindly let us know the procedure to follow.
The VMs are already running on backup agents and the primary ones are to be migrated.
Hi Rajesh,
As Marlies mentions below “If you can restore an identical snapshot I would say this is the preferred way.”
Is this a possibility for your case?
Yes. We migrated the identical snapshot and it worked. We had stopped SLdataminer service and shutdown the VM. Then migrated the VM snapshot to another server.
Hi Ashwini,
If you can restore an identical snapshot i would say this is the preferred way.
we also have a nice MOP to migrate failover DMAs to new hardware:
Migrating a Failover pair to new hardware | DataMiner Docs
If you need to change IPs, there are different MACs,... (=blank OS installation) and you want to move DataMiner to this new host, then i would recommend the MOP, otherwise i would switch to the backup DMAs, stop the ones you want to migrate restore the VM snapshot on the new host and start them up.
If everything is identical, this should work
Also the VMs will stil have the same NIC, IP address and MAC address after migration, but only move from one compute server to another in the same datacentre cluster. Please advise in this case.
