specified when you created or modified the logical server.
•
You are attempting to move a logical server from a physical to virtual system or a
virtual to physical system and the source logical server has never been activated on
a target of this platform type.

Move operation types
Use the Operation drop-down menu in the Target Hosts table to select a move operation type. The
drop-down menu displays the types of moves that are available for the corresponding target host.
(For example, a live move is not an option if VMotion is not running.)
If you do not select an operation, the best match is selected automatically.
Table 15 Move operations
Operation (Datastore)
Target host
Copy Move (default), Live Move, SAN Move, or Unlike Move. (If Live
Move or SAN Move is an available option, Copy Move is not
displayed.)
ESX Host
Quick Move (default), Copy Move, SAN Move, or Unlike Move.
Hyper-V Host
Live Move (also known as Online Move).
Integrity VM Host
Profile Move (default), or Unlike Move.
Server with Virtual Connect
•
Profile Move (Virtual Connect Only)
Moves a server connection profile within a BladeSystem enclosure (Virtual Connect Domain
Group).
•
Live Move (ESX VM, Hyper-V, and Integrity VM Only)
Also known as Online Move. Moves a running virtual machine, its operating system, and its
applications from one VM Host to another VM Host without an operating system reboot or
application restart. All I/O connections to storage and networks remain active throughout the
move. Initiates VMware VMotion technology from Systems Insight Manager, and requires that
vCenter is installed and running.
•
SAN-based Fast Move (ESX VM and Hyper-V Only)
Executes fast logical server moves between dissimilar host hardware.
