We are in the process of aquiring new host hardware to replace 2 old 4.0 hosts. We intent to keep the existing NFS storage where the current VMs reside. The old hosts connect to the NFS share over a Juniper EX4200 switch which has enough vacant ports to bring up the new 5.1 hosts and run the new environment simultaneously with the old 4.0 envrinment. My question is will this just be as simple as connecting to the NFS share concurrently with both environments? Then shutting each VM down in the old environment, removing from inventory, then going into the new environment, importing into inventory, then powering on? Any issues with connecting simultaneously to the NFS share? Any reason to make a backup copy of each VM before doing this? Or should I create a new NFS share for the new environment and copying each VM individually and import one by one to be safe?
