I'm in the process of upgrading to ESXi 5.1. As part of the upgrade I'm also trying to create some new datacenters, clusters, and folders.
Is there any awy to move an ESXi server to a different datacenter without removing it from vCenter? I know I can move the ESXi server between clusters within the same datacenter simply by putting it in maintenance mode but when I attempt to move it between datacenters I get an error indicating that the operation is not supported on the object..
I also know that I can disconnect and remove the ESXi sever from vCenter and than reconnect it where I want but removing the host from vCenter will delete all historical data from the database and I'd rather not do this if it can be helped.
Thanks,
