Before You Begin

Before you perform quick migration, check the following prerequisites:

• Backup infrastructure components that will take part in quick migration must be added to the backup infrastructure and properly configured. These include the source and target ESX(i) hosts.
• The target datastore must have enough free space to store disks of the migrated VM(s).
• If you want use VMware vSphere vMotion to relocate VMs between hosts and/or VMware vSphere Storage vMotion to relocate VM disks between datastores, make sure that you have a VMware vSphere license covering these features.
