Migrating a dedicated host instance to another host

{: #migrating-dedicated-host}

You can migrate your dedicated host instances from one host to another within the same POD. Select the instance to be migrated from either the host’s Device Details page or the instance’s Device Details page. Note that only two instances can be migrated at a time and the time needed to migrate depends on the disk. SAN disks are migrated quicker because local disks require copying the disk. The migrating instances are offline while being migrated; the host does remain up for any its other dedicated host instances. {:shortdesc}

Use the following steps to migrate dedicated host instances to another dedicated host within the same POD from the Device Details page of the original dedicated host.

  1. Click Device > Device List and select either the host or the hosted instance from the list.
  2. Click the Actions drop-down list next to the dedicated instance to be migrated.
  3. Select Migrate and enter the host where the instance is migrating to; remember, the target host must be within the same POD as the original host.
  4. Click the Migrate button.

The migration will begin immediately. During the migration, the dedicated instance is offline until on its new host. You can view the target host’s Device Details page to make sure the instance migrated correctly.
