Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Migrate EVE-NG Instance from VMware Workstation to ESXi

Post by Gilfoyle » Sun Jan 28, 2024 5:34 pm

Hi,

I am preparing to move my EVE-NG VM from VMware Workstation 17 to ESXi 8.0.0. CPU is going from AMD to Intel Hardware Wise.

If I remove the License from the VM first can I export the VM as an .OVF then relicense once installed on the new host? I would like to avoid installing a new copy of EVE-NG due to the large number of files I have in place already.

Thank you.

no problems, just make sure EVE lic is not used on 2 hosts.
install your new eve on esxi, and load lic., but old EVE host deactivate lic.
