If there is a lack of CPU resources, the duration of vMotion can be extended. vCenter Server grants a smaller share of host CPU resources.

VCenter Server reserves resources on both the source and destination hosts to be shared among all concurrent migration with vMotion. If sufficient CPU resources are not immediately available, vMotion is not initiated. vCenter Server grants a larger share of host CPU resources. VCenter Server attempts to reserve resources on both the source and destination hosts to be shared among all concurrent migrations with vMotion.

Select the migration priority level and click Next.

You can migrate a virtual machine network to another distributed switch in the same or to another data center or vCenter Server. You can click Advanced to select a new destination network for each VM network adapter connected to a valid source network.

Select a virtual machine storage policy from the VM Storage Policy drop-down menu.

If the thin disk needs more space later, it can expand to the maximum capacity allocated to it. At first, a thin provisioned disk uses only as much datastore space as the disk initially needs. Locate the virtual disk files you are moving and copy them into the. It might take longer to create disks in this format than to create other types of disks. Make sure VMware Workstation is installed and working correctly on the new host computer. In contrast to the thick provision lazy zeroed format, the data remaining on the physical device is zeroed out during creation. Space required for the virtual disk is allocated at creation time. Instead, it is zeroed out on demand on first write from the virtual machine.Д¬reate a thick disk that supports clustering features such as Fault Tolerance. Any data remaining on the physical device is not erased during creation. Space required for the virtual disk is allocated during creation.

Use the same format as the source virtual machine.Д¬reate a virtual disk in a default thick format.

Select the format for the virtual machine's disks.

You can afterwards retry the migration and select a destination host that is licensed to use PMem devices.

Important: Migrating a virtual machine that has an NVDIMM device or a vPMem disk to a host that does not have the proper license fails and leaves the virtual machine in an unmanageable state for 90 seconds.
