Hi,

 

I was reading the manual on Instant Disk Recovery Manual and I have a question.

When you click “Migrate to Production” does this suspend the VM?

 

The problem is that I have a VM which I restored the disk using Instant Disk Recovery, but on reading online further, it seems that when I click “Migrate to Production” the VM will be stopped until the disk has been completely restored. Is this correct?

 

Thank you,

Paul

 

There will be a short outage while the last changes are written to the disk at the production cluster and then then VM switched from the published disk on the backup server tp the disk on the production cluster.

Can we control when this outage occurs?

Or in other words, I’m assuming that:

  1. I can start migrate to production
    • The VM will not be suspended
  2. VEEAM/VMWare will create a snapshot on the existing disk
    • VEEAM will use the snapshot to restore the disk image to the current (backed up/running) state
  3. When the migration finishes
    • The snapshot will be merged into virtual disk

I’m assuming that, only in step 3 would we have an outage (as the snapshot is being merged). Correct?

Do we have to issue a command to initiate the snapshot merger (in VEEAM/VMWare)?

 

With Quick Migration, there's a short VM downtime upon switching to the new migrated VM (the VM is suspended and then resumed on the new host).
You have to click “Migrate to production” only. The rest does Veeam for you.

Thank you

😁 I am glad if my answers have helped you.
