VCF 9.1 Workload Mobility: Network Dependencies and Failover Contracts
Design hybrid workload mobility as a set of governed routes. Define workload contracts, network dependencies, recovery prerequisites, ownership, and evidence before moving or failing over services.
Consolidating Legacy vSphere and Older VCF onto VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1: Design Patterns, Migration Paths, and Best Practices
TL;DR Consolidating older vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation environments onto VCF 9.1 is not one upgrade procedure. It is a portfolio decision involving four different actions: upgrading an existing VCF instance, converging suitable vSphere infrastructure into a new VCF instance, importing an existing vCenter as a workload domain, or migrating workloads into a clean VCF … Explore: Consolidating Legacy vSphere and Older VCF onto VMware…
HCX 9.1 Migration Runbook: Network Profiles, Compute Profiles, Service Mesh, and First VM Move
TL;DR An HCX 9.1 migration should not begin with the Migrate Virtual Machines button. It should begin with a dependency-ordered runbook that proves routing, firewall policy, IP pools, site pairing, Network Profiles, Compute Profiles, Service Mesh health, and Network Extension behavior before a production workload is touched. The practical sequence is: Introduction HCX failures often … Explore: HCX 9.1 Migration Runbook: Network Profiles, Compute Profiles,…
