External Shared Storage (SAN/NAS/iSCSI)
Live Migration of Virtual Machines with VMotion


No stop and restart of SAP
applications!
Customer Impact
> Zero downtime maintenance
> Continuous service availability
> Complete transaction integrity
> Supported on Fibre Channel
and iSCSI SAN and NAS

What is it?
> Live migration of virtual
machines with VMware VMotion

11
Storage VMotion in vSphere 4
Enhancements
Can administer via vSphere Client
Supports NFS, Fibre Channel, and iSCSI
No longer requires 2 x memory
Supports moving VMDKs from thick to thin
formats
Can migrate RDMs to RDMs and RDMs to
VMDKs (non-passthrough)
Leverages new vSphere 4 features to speed
migration

Limitations
VM cannot include snapshots
VM must be powered off to simultaneously
migrate both host and datastore
