May I use vMotion in combination with Hyper Data Protector to move a VM image to another ESXi host?
Applicable Products:
- All NAS Series
- All QTS Firmware Versions
Yes, vMotion can be used to move a Virtual machine to another ESXi host. If a VM on your production sites goes down, you can quickly recover a point of time backed up VM from your backup server to the production site or to another operating host server to minimize service downtime. Hyper Data Protector support VMware vMotion feature live migration to ensure VM backups tasks keep running.
First you will need to add vCenter into Hyper Data Protector, then vMotion will be able to update the destination automatically.
Do note that to use VMware products, remember that licenses are required.
