VIRTUAL TO VIRTUAL MIGRATION

Virtual to Virtual Migration:

V2V migration is called virtual to virtual migration, which refers to migrate operating systems (OS), applications and data from a virtual machine (VM) or disk partition to another virtual machine or disk partition.

Performing V2V migration contributes to move VM to another virtual platform in a short time without installing or configuring any applications. For example, you can convert Hyper-V to VMware format. It saves time, reduces workloads and also minimizes the cost for hardware and storage.

If you want to migrate a virtual machine to another VMware platform directly, you can utilize VMware Converter. Meanwhile, if you simply want to migrate a virtual machine to the same or a different host, this article also describes effective methods of virtual machine migration.

Summary:

In this article, I have introduced V2V migration and specific procedures of converting Hyper-V to VMware by using VMware Converter. It enables to convert a VM from one format to another VMware format directly, and reduces the time of reinstalling multiple applications of VM. At the same time, for VM migration to another host, you can also achieve it in several simple ways as we mentioned above. All these methods are beneficial to VM data migration and protection.
