A third-party migration tool that works well in Windows environments but needs improvement in Linux environments

Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration. As a prerequisite in the case of a Windows platform, the .NET framework may cause some challenges as well. This can be done only in the latest version and is not possible in the earlier versions. We could do the migration for a customer with the older version but only after upgrading to the newer version of the .NET servers. This requires application downtime, and if the customer does not want any downtime during the migration, it can be very challenging. I would also like to see improvement in the data analytical loopholes in terms of Linux migration.

Can migrate workloads in just a click

The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster. It retains the IP and MAC addresses of VMs and cleans up migrated VMs by removing VMware tools from the source. The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster. There's also a manual method for workloads that can't be migrated automatically, like Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, which might not have the required PowerShell version. In these cases, we can still migrate using data migration only, but the engineer has to do more work, like reassigning IP and MAC addresses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Carbonite Migrate is helpful on an infrastructure level."

"Carbonite Migrate works well in Windows platform migrations and in the case of a VML platform. The migration is smooth in Windows environments."

"The solution is user-friendly."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is how simple it is and the benefit of what it does."

"It is easy to set up the solution."

"The easy migration is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is stable."

"The automated migration feature is the most effective. It automates the whole process, like installation from VMware to Nutanix AHV cluster.

The automated migration is seamless - when we do the cutover, Nutanix Move powers off the source VM and automatically powers on the virtual machine on the Nutanix cluster."

"We can change the hypervisor without any downtime."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Move is its simplicity."

Cons

"Carbonite failed when moving GIS data."

"We find it very difficult to use these tools in a multi-cloud environment"

"Migration in RHEL and Linux environments can be improved. During RHEL migration with multiple data areas, you have to create a similar source environment at the destination. This can be challenging because you have to install it, create the VM, install over it, and mount it at the mount point. Only then can you do the migration."

"They should have some tools to migrate the workload from another Nutanix platform."

"We'd like Nutanix to be more flexible in the future."

"We can migrate from Hyper-V to Acropolis, but we can't move from Acropolis back to Hyper-V. However, we do not have customers who want to, but if we could reassure them that it was possible it would be better. Having our Hyper-V customers have a two-way option that may help. A customer would like to hear that if they do switch they can switch back. I know it's a limitation on Hyper-V but not a limitation on VMware."

"The most valuable feature is the automation. The solution will clone the data that you want to migrate, shut down the virtual machine, disconnect it from the network and start the clone virtual machine inside the solution's platform."

"When you have regular questions, like how do I do something in the tool or when you want to know when can I do anything in the product, the solution's support team can take around three to four days to give you an answer, or they may even sometimes take more time."

"We cannot use the solution to move a machine from Nutanix to other hypervisors."

"Nutanix Move could be made more scalable, so you could do more instead of taking five or ten VMs at a time."

"I think Nutanix Move could be improved by adding a way to retry failed migrations. Sometimes when seeding fails, there's no way to redo it without recreating the whole migration plan. I'd like a button to restart the process without creating a migration plan."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing costs are really high."

"In terms of pricing, I think it's an expensive tool."

"The tool is bundled as part of the Nutanix license."

"It is a free tool."

"The solution is open-source."

"The product is available for free."
