I've got to copy a virtual machine from 1 esx server to another, I could do this by plugging in my laptop and using vmware convertor however that seems somewhat slow and my assumption is that this is because it's got to take a bit of a detour by going through the laptop (am I right?). What I would feel more comfortable doing would be to log into to console and use netcat or scp to copy the diskimages over however I suspect there maybe problems doing this?
So my questions are is there a more direct way then using vmware convertor to move copy the machine and can it be done without shutting down the source virtual machine?
Many thanks,
Tom
PS, I don't have vMotion
