Hi Guys,
We currently have 2 VMs installed on an older DL380 G6, we're transferring to a G9, brand new, apparently this can be done using the VMware vCentre Converter. See my previous post for more details regarding the new/old hardware:
Transferring VMs from between servers with differing hardware
We have all the hardware plugged in and set up, RAID configured as desired. We put an enterprise grade microSD card to run the hypervisor off, but that is as far as we got. I am more of a hardware guy, experienced in user computers rather than servers etc.
I was wondering if there was a good how to for setting up the hypervisor on a machine? I can work out boot orders and booting from a USB etc. I can probably work my way through it but was wondering if there was a good guide with DOs and DONTs etc.
Also, the current server has VMware ESXi, 6.0.0, 3380124, should I try to install 6.5.0? Or do you have to keep the same version of the hypervisor when transferring?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
