Migrating Recovered VMware VMs Using Flash VM Boot

To migrate a booted VM from one datastore to another, do the following while the virtual machine is running:

1. Open vSphere Client.

2. In the vSphere Client inventory, select the virtual machine recovered with Flash VM Boot that you want to migrate.

3. Right-click on the VM and select Migrate.

4. Select Change datastore and click Next.

5. Select the specific format of your virtual disk.
   
   

   Note
   When selecting virtual disk format, do not leave the Same format as source option selected as the VM will be discarded when clicking the Discard VMsbutton in the Flash VM Boot job.
   
   

6. Select the datastore where you want to store the VM.

7. Review the page and click Finish.

Note
After migrating the booted VMs, you can click the Discard VMs button in the Flash VM Boot job. The job detects that the VMs were migrated and does not discard them.

Replicate booted VMs as described below:

1. Refresh the Inventory in Settings (so that the VMs created by Flash VM Boot are added to the product).
