Step-by-Step Lab Guide
- Open vCenter using vSphere Client. For our demonstration, we take Ubuntu Server from the sa-ESXi-01 host. Check that the current datastore of the Ubuntu Server is VMFS01-01.
- Verify that at least one shared datastore must be present between all hosts of your vCenter inventory. Here we have iSCSI-Datastore, which is shared Storage. Hence, we will migrate our Ubuntu Server from VMFS01-01 to iSCSI-Datastore. Click on Storage, go to iSCSI-Datastore & Click on Hosts Tab. We can see here iSCSI-Datastore is shared between both sa-ESXi-01 and sa-ESXi-02 hosts.
- Right-Click on Ubuntu Server and click on – Migrate.
- Select migration type = Change storage only
- Select iSCSI-Datastore as target storage and Disk Provisioning type = Thin and Click on NEXT.
- Review all details and click on the FINISH button.
- Click Ubuntu Server and Go to Datastore under the Host and Cluster tab. You can see the datastore changes from VMFS01-01 to iSCSI-Datastore storage migration successfully.
