Migrate/Copy VM from ESXi to other ESXi

I am attempting to migrate a lot of VMs from old ESXi server to new ESXi server

I don't have VMware vCenter

I have Veeam Backup and Replication

Any idea or any suggestions to do this migration?

Solution 1:

1. Enable SSH on both hosts
2. Enable outgoing SSH connections in the firewall on the source host
3. Shutdown the VM
4. Connect to the source host via ssh
5. Copy the VM with scp to the target host
6. Register the VM on the target host
7. Start the VM on the target host
8. Delete the VM on the source host

Solution 2:

You can use the VMware Converter to migrate the VMs.

1. Download and install the VMware Converter Standalone (It's free)
2. Click on Convert machine
3. Connect to your source ESXi
4. Select your (powered off) VM
5. Select the target ESXi
6. (Optional: Make any necessary changes to the virtual hardware)
7. Start the conversion
