Oracle VM Manager/VM Server: Migrate virtual machine between in-compatible/in different pool


  1. Shutdown target virutla machine
  2. Create same size virtual disk on target server
  3. Copy the existing virtual disk to replace the file generated in last step
  4. Create network for the target virtual machine
  5. Create new virtual machine with same configuration as original virutal machine
  6. Start up target virtual machine
To Create another Oracle VM Manager to replace existing one:

      Copy the UUID of your original Oracle VM Manager from the file /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config.

    After mounting the Oracle VM Manager install dvd on the file system of your virtual machine, run the installer as follows: ./runinstaller.sh --uuid <original_manager_uuid>. Select your preferred installation type, as you would with a regular install.

Stop your original Oracle VM Manager.
From the new Oracle VM Manager virtual machine, rediscover your Oracle VM Server and storage, and refresh your storage repository to make sure that that all your VM resources reappear.
After rediscovering the minimal setup, proceed with the installation and configuration of your full Oracle VM environment.
