Migration

  • PowerStore is designed to integrate easily and seamlessly into an existing VMware vSphere environment. Native vSphere features and tools can be used between PowerStore and external ESXi hosts.

    This ability enables performing quick and simple migrations by using tools such as vMotion and Storage vMotion. vMotion can be used to move VM compute from one ESXi host to another. Storage vMotion can be used to move VM storage off the current datastore and onto the PowerStore vVol datastore. You also have the option of performing both a vMotion and Storage vMotion simultaneously, as shown in the following figure:
