SVMotion is a VMware Infrastructure (VI) client plug-in that extends the client's functionality by providing an integrated, graphical tool that can be used to invoke storage VMotion (SVMotion) operations.
Although obsolete with ESX4, this plugin is awesome in esx3.5. Highly recommended, but don't forget, you'll need a VMotion license and config first.
I love this! You can migrate a VM to a different data store during production!
awesome plugin, eliminates need for command line vmotioning
- No longer protects against migrating VMs that have thin-provisioned disks. - No longer counts RDM files against datastore size, fixing the bug that plagued the last version. - SVMotion operations against templates are not supported since VMware does not support them. - Added tool tips that explain why a relocation cannot take place - All SVMotion events write out a log, enabling better understanding of what went wrong in case of an error. - Aside from the library that loads the plug-in, all of VMware's internal code has been replaced with the VI Toolkit for .NET. - The project is now supported by almost 20 unit tests, helping to ensure fewer bugs and greater stability. - The unit tests can be expanded to include testing for a system-resource supported number of servers since they use mock testing designed to work with the VI Toolkit for .NET. - The project is now built using NAnt, which allows nightly builds of the source, creates distributions, and builds the MSI installer.
