Hi guys,
Need proper advise for migration,
Scenario
i have 3 ESXi host, with one vCenter, and now plan to do some hardware refresh which replace the host with new host.
Existing
3x DELL R530 (plan for decommission)
ESXi 6.5
vCenter 6.5
New
3x DELL R740
The thing this company is 24/7, can't afford any downtime, the thing puzzle me is about EVC, i plan to setup new host and provision new vCenter, i will configure EVC to support existing host processor, i will use 1 existing host as a transport which mean, put some VM in that host, remove it from cluster and add to new cluster farm, then perform VM host migration, repeat the step for several time until complete migrate all VM, will this step still require downtime? as i bringing old host to new farm that already configure with EVC?
Thank You.
