I have ESXi 7.0 installed on a new server
- Client version: 1.34.0
- Client build number: 15603211
- ESXi version: 7.0.0
- ESXi build number: 16324942
I have an iSCSI datastore with a bunch of VMs from my old server which ran ESX 6.0. If I connect the iSCSI to the new server and register the VMs and run them, they work just fine.
I no longer want to use the iSCSI datastore, I want to retire it and use a local datastore instead. However, any attempt I've made so far to copy the VMs to the new datastore has not worked. The files copy over, but when I try to power on the VM I get this error:
- Key: haTask-19-vim.VirtualMachine.powerOn-2961284483
- Description: Power On this virtual machine
- Virtual machine: Web_Server
- State: Failed - Unable to enumerate all disks.
- Errors: Unable to enumerate all disks. The specified feature is not supported by this version.
I do not have a vCenter or a vMotion license, and I cannot find any kind of "migrate" option in the vSphere web UI. Is the any way at all that I can migrate the VMs to the new datastore and preserve their snapshot history? I don't understand why copying all the files over doesn't work.
