Hi,
Further to this Migrate ESXi’s to another vCenter
I notice that if I try to add the 6.0 Host (currently managed by Windows vCenter) to another VCSA 6.7 inside a new cluster I get a warning that VMs are running on the Host and the below notification:
"Hosts will enter Maintenance mode before they are moved to the cluster" You might need to power off or migrate....
However if I add to a new datacenter I get:
"The Host is already managed by vCenter Server System with IP Address xx.xx.xx.xx
Only one vCenter System can manage this host. If you add this Host to this vCenter Server system, the Host will lose connection with its original vCenter System"
So it looks like I will first need to add them to the datacenter on the VCSA (As do not want this procedure to cause any impact/downtime) and then add to the cluster one at a time after evacuating the respective Host (hosts have only local datastores, no shared storage and using Standard Switches).
During the above process however when I select a an Enterprise 6.0 ESXi license I get the following warning:
"Cannot decode the licensed features on the host before it is added to vCenter Server. You might be unable to assign the selected license because of unsupported features in use or some features might be become unavailable...."
Is the above message normal/expected?
Also currently the Hosts have no DNS configured, so will add DNS Servers on them as I plan to add these to the VCSA by using their DNS name (rather than IP)
Thanks
