Re: How do I migrate from ESXi 4.0 on local_storage to ESXi 4.1 on USB SD

Hi Nikhil,

 

We only have one ESXi host running v4.0 and it was installed on the local Raid 10 storage array.  What I want to do it migrate the host OS (v4.0) from local_storage to a USB SD drive off the motherboard.  The VMs will stay on local_storage (Raid 10 and Raid 5 Array).

 

Is it possible to put the host into Maintenance Mode, reboot with ESXi 4.1 CD in drive.  Install 4.1 on USB SD, and add VMs in local_storage to inventory?

Or would I get a Purple Screen of Death because it knows about the other install of ESXi 4.0 on local_storage?

 

 

Thanks for your help!

Chris Mathews
