Hi,
We are currently runing Vcenter 5.1 which has been installed on a Virtual machine within our ESXi 5.1 Cluster, and would like to move VCenter to a physical machine and perform an entirely new installation... Im trying to find the correct procedure on how to remove hosts from an Existing VMware Cluster into another one without incurring any downtime, which results in the following questions:
1. Remove an ESXi host from a VMware cluster will leave the VMs running on those hosts perfectly operational? We do not use Distributed switches, just local VMswitches.
2. Is this just a matter of removing the ESXi host from the Cluster and adding it on the new Vcenter Server ?
Thanks for any pointers you might offer
