ESXi Migration
28
How Does A User Plan an ESX to ESXi migration?
1. Visit the ESX and ESXi Info Center
2. Start testing ESXi
• If you’ve not already deployed, there’s no better time than the present
3. Ensure 3rd party solutions used by your customers are ESXi Ready
• Monitoring, backup, management, etc. Most already are.
• Bid farewell to agents!
4. Familiarize with ESXi remote management options
• Transition any scripts or automation that depended on the COS
• Powerful off-host scripting and automation using vCLI, PowerCLI, …
5. Plan an ESXi migration as part of vSphere upgrade
• Testing of ESXi architecture can be incorporated into overall vSphere testing

Terminology Changes That Are Important
Change to vSphere 5.0 Editions
Other New Terminology
• No further use of the terms vCompute, vStorage, or vNetwork
• Use of the “vSphere” branding convention vs. “VMware” (Example – VMware Fault Tolerance is not vSphere Fault Tolerance) in product names
Editions name appliesto the following
vSphere offerings:
• Standard
• Advanced X
• ENT
• ENT +
