Relocate a virtual machine to a compatible hypervisor

The relocate VM feature enables you to move a deployed VM to another hypervisor on the same rack with the same manager. This feature is available for VMware ESXi and uses the vMotion feature. This feature requires the "Relocate a VM into a compatible host" privilege.

The Relocate VM button is on the VM control panel above the VM details when you select a VM.

The platform displays a list of compatible hosts.

When you click "Show details", the platform displays the host metrics, so you can check that the new host is not overloaded.

After it relocates the VM, the platform displays the new host details, for example, with a new Remote access address.

If you click the Relocate button again, you should see the original host as a new candidate, which means that the relocate has worked properly.
