3.2.2 Usage example of Migrate Virtual Machine service template
This section provides assumed system configurations and examples of properties to be specified when using the Migrate Virtual Machine service template.
This template allows you to use vMotion to move a virtual server to another instance of VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server).
Assumed system configuration
This service template assumes the following system configuration:
- Web browser
-
A terminal used to operate JP1/AO. The user uses this terminal to set property values in the service template.
- IT operation automation server
-
A server with JP1/AO and JP1/Base installed.
- vCenter operation server
-
A server with VMware vSphere Power CLI installed.
- vCenter server
-
A server with VMware vCenter Server installed.
- ESX server
-
A server with VMware vSphere ESXi (or VMware ESX Server) installed. This server manages the virtualization server.
- Virtual server
-
A virtual server managed by the ESX server. The Migrate Virtual Machine service template moves this virtual server.

Processing flow
-
A user enters property values in the Web browser and submits the service for execution.
-
The IT operation automation server executes automated processing on the vCenter operation server.
-
The target virtual server is migrated from the ESX01 server to the ESX02 server.
If the virtual server is on, a hot migration (migration with the power on) is performed. If the virtual server is off, a cold migration (migration with the power off) is performed.
Example of specifying property values
To use the Migrate Virtual Machine service template, a user must specify the appropriate property values for the user environment. Specify the property values in the Service Definition window and the Submit Service window.
