[cisco-voip] best way to move CUCM Publisher from one host/DC to another

[Ryan Huff]

I don’t think vMotion would change the MAC address, UUID.. etc and I think you’d be fine (not while the VM is powered on though).

Typically, what I do is power the VM down and SCP the VM folder to the target host from the source host (requires SSH server/client be enabled and excluded in the host firewall for the hosts). Then in the target host, add the .vmx file into inventory and power on. You’ll initially be asked if you moved or copied the VM and you’ll want to select move (if you select copy, then it will randomize a few things like nic MAC .. etc).

Lastly, remove the source VM from inventory and after you’re sure the target VM is healthy and running fine, delete the source VM from storage on the source host.

Thanks,

Ryan

hi


We have to migrate our Voice VMs from one host/DC to another host/DC. i think if we clone or do vmotion, mac address gets changed and we have to apply for license, we may face database corruption.


Is there a way which Cisco recommends to do migration, if we have to migrate Voice VMs from one host to another?
