The Nutanix Move User Guide is present on the Nutanix Support Portal, and we advise you to review the docs to understand the product workflow.

Below are Frequently Asked Questions on Nutanix Move.. What is Nutanix Move and why do we need it?
	Nutanix Move is a tool used to migrate VMs to Nutanix AHV by automating the process of installing VirtIO and retaining the IP as well as the MAC address on the AHV side. We need Move to take care of all the hassle of copying the vdisks one by one and loading to AHV using Image Configuration and installing VirtIO on the machines manually and keeping a note of the IPs as well.

	Does Nutanix Move support migration of Exchange Server?
	Exchange should be migrated by installing newer versions of Exchange Server in parallel with existing production environments, then move user mailboxes from the old system to the new one.

	Refer migration limitation: https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Nutanix-Move-v3_6:v36-migration-limitations-r.html

	 
	Does Nutanix Move support migration of MySQL / Oracle database servers?
	Nutanix Move supports migrations for smaller DBs with a lesser workload. But if you are looking at a heavy database VM, then we recommend performing the best practices offered by Microsoft and Oracle. Adding to this, there are Nutanix Best Practices for such workloads to run with optimized performance, hence we recommend you perform cloning of the role to a newly created VM on AHV rather than migrating the VM using Move.

	You can refer to this portal document pointing to the limitations of Nutanix Move: https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Nutanix-Move-v3_6:v36-migration-limitations-r.html

	Can the VMs be migrated if they are powered off?
	Yes, the VMs can be migrated if they are powered OFF. However, they will be Powered ON to install the necessary drivers if the “Automatic Preparation Mode” is selected. If you choose "Manual Preparation Mode", then you will need to copy the necessary scripts to the VMs and run them manually regardless of their power state. Either case, there will be a minimized downtime when you click "Cutover" which will power off the VMs on the source and power them on on the target.

	 
	What are the supported hypervisors we can migrate from?
	Move supports migration from:

	ESXi to AHVHyper-V to AHVAWS to AHVESXi to ESXi (on Nutanix)

	Supported Versions are listed here

	 
	How can I change the IP address of my Move VM?
	To assign a static IP address to Move, check this link

	 
	How many VMs can be migrated from Move in one go?
	There is no limit on the number of VMs that can be migrated in one go. However, the default limit for running parallel migrations is 32. The rest would be in the “Queued for Migration” state.

	 
	Are there logs created on VM by Move?
	Yes, there are logs injected on the VMs when Move starts injecting VirtIO and IP retention scripts.

	On Windows, it can be found in:

	[admin@nutanix-move]$ rs

	On Linux, it can be found in:

	[admin@nutanix-move]$ rs

	 
	What are the common user permissions needed on the Windows side if using a Domain administrator or local Administrator?
	Check 3 things for any user on Windows VM to be qualified for Move to use:

	Users must have "Logon as Batch Job" enabled.UAC must be disabled (for the local administrator, it is usually disabled)Users must have "Restore files and directories" rights.

	 
	What are the common user permissions needed on the Linux side if using root user?
	Below are the configuration settings to look out for when migrating a Linux VM using credentials.

	Ensure ssh localhost using only password authentication, i.e. set “PasswordAuthentication yes” in sshd_configEnsure using sudo, user assume root privileges without entering a passwordEnsure read, write and execute permissions for /tmp and /opt and /boot foldersroot access, sshd service running

	 
	Why do we need to install VirtIO to the machines when performing the migration to AHV?
	Nutanix VirtIO needs to be installed on the VMs before migrating to AHV as its functionality is similar to VMware Tools in ESXi. VirtIO helps in detecting the disks when booting up with SCSI controllers on an AHV cluster. You might run into issues post-migration where VMs fail to boot up (Windows machines might run into "Boot device not found" and Linux machines might show "boot partition was not detected").

	Make sure you enter the correct credentials to the VM so that Move can take care of the installation of VirtIO OR you can install the VirtIO drivers manually, which are available from the Nutanix Portal in the AHV / VirtIO download section.

	To manually install VirtIO on a Linux VM, follow the article Migrating Linux VMs to Acropolis.

	If the VM has VirtIO installed on the VM, check if the correct boot device is selected on Prism for the VM to boot.

	 
	What is the maximum waiting time for a VM to be left in Ready to Cutover state?
	We recommend performing the cutover within 1 week post the initial Data Seeding completion of the VM because Nutanix tests the operation at those conditions. You can refer to the document here for further reference.

	Note that the cutover operation needs user invention as the VM will be powered off on the source end and powered up on the target cluster. So, make sure that no users are impacted during this operation and after a green signal from all the concerned parties for the VM, only then proceed to select the VM and hit the "Cutover" button on the UI.

	 
	How is migration impacted if my source and target cluster is located in physically different locations?
	With high-speed Internet and no bottlenecks, the migration will run smoothly over WAN. Keep a close check if the migration is being performed during production hours so that there are no performance impacts.

	 
	When creating a new Move, we see multiple IPs on Prism UI?
	If you have a DHCP server configured on the cluster when Move VM is powered on, DHCP will assign a temporary IP to the server. This only pops up on the UI (Prism behavior). You can ignore it and proceed to add static IP to the Move VM. Note that it will take some time for the DHCP server IP to vanish from the UI. Make sure that the Move VM is reachable over the static IP and the UI can load over the static IP configured (http://<static_move_ip>).

	 
	I have a DHCP server in my environment but the Move VM migration is failing / Move VM gets an APIPA IP. How can I overcome this?
	Make sure you add the Move VMs MAC address as "trusted" on your DHCP server. You can also check if the Move VM is being assigned new IP every minute/hour and make the appropriate change to lease the IP for VM. To avoid running into such conditions, you can configure a static IP for the VM.

	 
	If I have a UEFI enabled VM on the source cluster, will it be supported for migration using Move?
	Nutanix Move supports UEFI enabled VM migration from Move 3.3 and AOS 5.11 onwards. However, it is yet to support Secured Boot on UEFI.

	 
	I see VMware Tools installed on the VM post-migration. Should I delete it?
	Yes, you can proceed to delete VMware Tools post-migration from the AHV cluster. Note that if the migration was from a non-Nutanix ESXi cluster to a Nutanix ESXi cluster, the VMs might BSOD due to VMware Tools being outdated. You can re-install VMware Tools to the VM so that the disks are available on the OS level.

	 
	Credentials for source/target cluster changed during the migration. Now, migration is failing due to incorrect username/password. What should be done?
	Below are workarounds that can be followed:

	Enter the new password on the target/source cluster by hovering on the 3 dots -> Edit -> enter username/password. Restart all the services on the Move VM (this will mark all the ongoing migrations as failed so be careful when rebooting the VM)Change the password back to the old password and restart all the services on Move (this will mark all the ongoing migrations as failed so be careful when rebooting the VM).

	Nutanix Engineering is aware of this issue and is working on improving the workflow when there is a change in the passwords.
	Does Move Support Special Characters in VM Passwords?

           Move does support using special characters in the VM passwords, all the special characters are supported. However, Language specific special characters used in password are not supported on Move.. ### Human: Now explain this as a Nutanix support agent summarizing the answer step by step. In case, you don't know the answer say - I don't know.
