Now have two sets of vsphere, a set of 5.5 a 6.0, now the newly built a virtualization system, how to put the two sets of old virtual machine is migrated, new virtualization of virtualization system with old system, not with a storage, nor in a cluster,

There are several kinds of methods:

Method one: VC when management ESXi cluster is backwards compatible with the latest virtualization environment VC (don't know you is 6.5, 6.7, 7.0) or build 5.5, 6.0, an independent cluster, and then put the host in accordance with the version added to the corresponding cluster, shut down a virtual machine - the old cluster migration - change the host and storage - "choose to start the new cluster and the cluster to the host migration,
Ps: this method is simple, the disadvantage is that need to be shut down, there is a note is the new and old cluster the processor's instruction set is compatible, if it is not compatible with need to open the EVC in the new cluster,

Method 2: VC when management ESXi cluster is backwards compatible with the latest virtualization environment VC (don't know you is 6.5, 6.7, 7.0) or build 5.5, 6.0 the independence of the cluster, and then put the host in accordance with the version added to the corresponding cluster, the cluster will be 5.5 and 6.0 under the virtual removed from listing (note that not delete virtual machine), into the corresponding storage cluster of 5.5 and 6.0 find the corresponding virtual machine folder, the folder as a whole is copied to the new vsphere environment corresponding storage, and then found in each folder. VMX file, added to the list, select new ESXi host in the cluster, and electrical testing,
Ps: this method is generally used in method a migration fail, if ESXi version too old, such as 5.0, 5.5, it is possible to use this method, (I have encountered in the actual project)

Method 3: V2V, using the vmware converter tools, will be the target host V2V to the new environment, (step by step according to the guide of the converter), this method is more complex, need the target virtual machine migration conditions (service status, etc.), the advantage is not restricted by environment, the source is vmware, citrix, KVM or physical machine can be,

Method 4: using backup tool such as VDP, symantec, CV... , backup and restore the virtual machine, and method of two principles, advantages in automatic save trouble, defect is need to have other tools,
