I have a bunch of machines hosting VMs (created with VMWare Server 1). Have just ordered a new beast of a server and want to run VMWare ESX on it.
Anyone experienced ESX before? I want to be able to:
. Create new VMs on the ESX host
. Migrate older VMs (as mentioned above) to the new ESX host
Seems I need to buy VMware Infrastructure for the new server. Don't really need half the crap that that involves but meh...
I know you can use VMWare Converter to change old VMs into ESX VMs. But don't know if possible across a network (from 1 host to the new host).
Also, Infrastructre is pretty costly. Is it licensed per server???
So another option would be to run ESXi on my servers and use Virtual Centre to manage them. But I don't even know if that's possible. Or where I would run Virtual Centre from.
I know Google is my friend, poisting here in the hope someone has knowledge of it all anyway.
Thanks
