When migrating ESXi VMs to an AHV-based cluster using Nutanix Move, what should be in place to ensure a successful migration?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Nutanix Move requires VMware Tools to be installed and current on guest VMs for supported ESXi-to-AHV migration workflows. VMware Tools provides guest-level information and operations needed during migration preparation and cutover. Its services support tasks such as obtaining guest details, coordinating shutdown or restart actions, and completing supported guest-side preparation.
Placing ESXi hosts in maintenance mode would normally evacuate or stop workloads and is not a standard migration prerequisite. Move is designed to migrate selected running workloads while the source infrastructure remains operational until cutover. Option C is incorrect because official Move requirements specify virtual hardware version 7 or later for the relevant support condition, not version 9 or later. Option D is also too restrictive: supported Move releases accommodate documented ESXi versions beyond only the 7.x family, subject to the current compatibility matrix.
Administrators must also verify network reachability, credentials, guest-operating-system support, source and target compatibility, and adequate target resources. However, among the choices, the explicit guest requirement is current VMware Tools. Reference: Nutanix Move 6.2 - Requirements . NHCF alignment:
Nutanix Move prerequisites, cross-hypervisor migration, and workload preparation.
