Hello Everyone,

We're in the process of refreshing our data center and will be standing up a greenfield ESXi workload cluster. This new cluster will have all new compute and a brand new SAN Storage solution. Our current infrastructure is running on AHV with Nutanix hardware. With department budget being tight we have been told that we won't be able to purchase licensing for any specialty tools that could handle this kind of migration.Geometry Dash Lite

What are my best options for migrating roughly 800 VMs, some of them databases, over to the new ESXi workload cluster with little downtime? I looked at a post from about 9 months back and the best option seemed to be utilizing the P2V converter and running a powershell script to perform this in batches. Is this still the best option for the task?

Cheers!

Welcome to StarWnd Forum.
Use V2V converter batch scripts.
