Can we move VM between two data center?

You can also use cold migration to move virtual machines from one virtual switch to another, and from one data center to another. Hot migration is also called live migration or vSphere vMotion. With vSphere vMotion, you migrate the virtual machine without any interruption in its availability.

How do I vMotion between hosts?

Migrate to a different host

1. Log in to VMware vSphere client console.
2. Right-click the virtual machine and select Migrate.
3. Go to Migrate Virtual Machine.
4. Select the Change host as the Migration Type and click Next.

6. Select the vMotion priority and click Next.

What is the maximum allowable round trip between ESXI hosts for long-distance vMotion?

150 milliseconds
Round-Trip Time for Long-Distance vMotion Migration The maximum supported network round-trip time for vMotion migrations is 150 milliseconds. This round-trip time lets you migrate virtual machines to another geographical location at a longer distance.

What license is needed for vMotion?

VMotion differences Cross-vSwitch vMotion is available in standard version (although you can work with distributed vSwitch which is not presented) but cross-vCenter and long-distance vMotion is available only with Enterprise Plus license.

What are the limitations of vMotion?

You cannot use migration with vMotion to migrate a virtual machine that uses a virtual device backed by a device that is not accessible on the destination host. For example, you cannot migrate a virtual machine with a CD drive backed by the physical CD drive on the source host.
