i'm talking about the script “Quick Migration for VMware”, Mike's script.
I've 2 esx server(3.0.1 e 3.0.2), I 've used the script invoking it on 1 of them(by its address), the script works but it doesn't see the second esx server (v. 3.02).
For this reasom, I've tought that the 2 esx server have to be “joined” through a VMware Virtual Center Server.
Thanks for any help,
regards
Fabio

I have some problems using this script and I think that the problem is that I'm using the script with Virtual Infrastructure and not with Virtual Server.
Can I ask you with what application are you using the script?
Thanks

I'm very interested in your script but I've the same problem that had “glmrenard”.
The script works but it doesn't see the second esx server (v. 3.02).
The two servers have to be in cluster?
Have you some suggestions? (esx version, VMware Infrastructure Toolkit ver ?)
Thanks for any help,
