SnapDrive supports VMware VMotion, which enables the live migration of running virtual machines from one physical machine to another without interrupting service to those machines.
The following VMotion requirements must be met to use VMotion with SnapDrive:
Use VMware VirtualCenter instead of ESX Server during SnapDrive installation.
If SnapDrive was installed to communicate directly with the ESX Server, modify settings using VirtualCenter or ESX Server login Settings in the SnapDrive MMC.
Manually create an igroup that has all WWPNs from each ESX Server in the ESX Cluster.
Use the same igroup for all RDM LUN create and connect operations.
Note: When you perform a VMotion operation, the RDM LUN validation might fail. Perform an HBA rescan from the virtual infrastructure client and retry the operation.
