Migration from VMware vSphere to HPE HVM with Veeam

 

As organizations modernize their infrastructure strategies and reduce dependence on legacy virtualization platforms, many are evaluating alternatives to VMware vSphere that preserve operational continuity, performance, and data protection. HPE Morpheus Software VM Essentials, combined with Veeam Backup & Replication, delivers a validated and enterprise‑ready path to migrate workloads with confidence, minimal risk, and a clearly defined rollback strategy.

 

This guide describes migration from VMware vSphere to HPE VM Essentials leveraging Veeam Backup & Replication to move workloads to HVM clusters (HPE’s hypervisor). Fundamental to this joint solution is the Veeam Plug‑In for Morpheus VM Essentials, which provides agentless, host‑level backup and recovery operations for HPE HVM. This plug‑in allows Veeam to work directly with Morpheus infrastructure, ensuring that virtual machines can be seamlessly protected with Veeam after migration.

The migration process begins with the discovery of the environment and ends with validation and protection of the migrated infrastructure.

Very interesting guide as I have not yet played with the HPE hypervisor.  Thanks for sharing this with the community.

I wonder if there’ll be a possibility of test download/install Chris? 🤔 Not sure it’s something I’d consider being so new, but would be interesting to see it nonetheless.

Hopefully, we can get a test version of it, as I am interested just because it is new and how Veeam works with it.
