Overview

Migrating virtual machines (VMs) from VMware ESXi to QNAP Virtualization Station allows you to consolidate workloads and manage VMs directly on your QNAP device. Maintaining the same VLAN configuration ensures network consistency and minimizes downtime during migration.

Procedure

Important: Before starting the migration, back up your virtual machine and important data to prevent data loss.

Export the VM from ESXi:
- Export the VM as an OVF (Open Virtualization Format)/OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) or other compatible image file from ESXi.
- Ensure the export includes all required virtual disks and configuration files.
Import the VM into Virtualization Station:
- In Virtualization Station, go to Overview and click Create VM or use Import.
- Follow on-screen instructions to select and import the VM.
- Configure the VM name, OS type, and storage options as needed.
Configure network settings to match VLANs:
If your original VM does not use a VLAN, you can skip this step.
- Create or modify a virtual switch with VLAN:
  - Go to Interfaces in the left panel.
  - Click on 3-dot popup menu at the left of the physical network adapter you want to configure
  - Select Add VLAN from the menu.
  - Enable VLAN and enter the desired VLAN ID (for example, 10).
  - Click Apply to save the settings.
- Assign the virtual switch to your VM in Virtualization Station:
  - Open Virtualization Station.
  - Select the VM you want to configure and click Edit.
  - In the Network section, select the virtual network adapter (vNIC).
  - Choose the virtual switch you configured with the VLAN ID.
  - Save the VM settings.
Start the VM and verify connectivity:
- Power on the imported VM in Virtualization Station.
- Confirm that the VM retains its network settings and can communicate on the intended VLAN as expected.
- Test key applications and workloads on the VM to ensure full functionality after migration.

If you need to synchronize the VM’s clock or collect its IP address, install the QNAP Guest Agent by inserting the Guest Tool CD image in the VM settings.

Limitations

Some VM features or configurations from ESXi may not be fully compatible with Virtualization Station. Test the VM after migration to ensure full functionality.

概述

将虚拟机（VM）从 VMware ESXi 迁移到 QNAP Virtualization Station，可以整合工作负载并直接在 QNAP 设备上管理虚拟机。保持相同的 VLAN 配置可确保网络一致性，并在迁移过程中将停机时间降至最低。

步骤

重要提示：在开始迁移之前，请备份您的虚拟机和重要数据，以防止数据丢失。

从 ESXi 导出虚拟机：
- 将虚拟机导出为OVF（开放虚拟化格式）/OVA（开放虚拟设备）或其他兼容的映像文件。
- 确保导出包含所有必需的虚拟磁盘和配置文件。
将虚拟机导入到 Virtualization Station：
- 在 Virtualization Station 中，进入概述并点击创建虚拟机或使用导入。
- 按照屏幕上的说明选择并导入虚拟机。
- 根据需要配置虚拟机名称、操作系统类型和存储选项。
配置网络设置以匹配 VLAN：
如果您的原始虚拟机未使用 VLAN，可以跳过此步骤。
- 创建或修改带有 VLAN 的虚拟交换机：
  - 进入接口在左侧面板中。
  - 点击您要配置的物理网络适配器左侧的三点弹出菜单
  - 选择添加 VLAN从菜单中。
  - 启用VLAN并输入所需的 VLAN ID（例如，10）。
  - 点击应用以保存设置。
- 在 Virtualization Station 中将虚拟交换机分配给您的虚拟机：
  - 打开Virtualization Station。
  - 选择您要配置的虚拟机并点击编辑。
  - 在网络部分，选择虚拟网络适配器（vNIC）。
  - 选择您配置的带有 VLAN ID 的虚拟交换机。
  - 保存虚拟机设置。
启动虚拟机并验证连接性：
- 在 Virtualization Station 中启动导入的虚拟机。
- 确认虚拟机保留其网络设置，并能够在预期的 VLAN 上进行通信。
- 测试虚拟机上的关键应用程序和工作负载，以确保迁移后的完整功能。
