In the case of standalone ESXi hosts, you could copy VMs between ESXi hosts by leveraging some of the tools, like VMware Converter, or you could even export the virtual machine to the jump host Windows system and then import the same into the destination host, but all this would take a while and you are dependent on a middle-man system for the VMware Converter installation or during import and export.Īnother option is the OVF Tool. But what if you don't have a vCenter server but only standalone ESXi hosts? How can you move or copy VMs between ESXi hosts when you have standalone ESXi hosts that are not managed by vCenter servers? Similarly, copying a VM or a VM template between ESXi hosts is very simple when you have the vCenter server-you can simply clone the VM to the target ESXi host or even deploy a VM from VM templates wherever you want in the vCenter server. This migration is possible when you have a vCenter server and both source and target ESXi hosts are managed by the vCenter Server.
