This video will show you how easy it is to migrate live running Linux or Windows servers from VMware ESX to Proxmox.
More specifically I’m using Carbonite Migrate to make a real time copy of a live Ubuntu 20.04.6 virtual machine currently running on a VMware ESX host, and replicating it to a Proxmox host. The mirroring (synchronisation) of the server, it’s configuration, applications and data all take place while the source ESX virtual machine is live, and it’s only for the last couple of minutes at the end, when the ESX source server is shutdown and the new Proxmox server is started up, that the users would see any downtime.
The same type of migration could be performed for other Linux Environments (Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky) or Windows Server environments. These servers could be physical, virtual or cloud, and they could be running pretty much any application.
