Situation:
I have a VMWare vCenter Server 4.1 (managing two hosts) running on a server that I would like to use for other purposes. I don't want to move the vCenter Server to a VM, and already have another server configured with Windows Server 2008 64bit that's ready to have the vCenter Server installed, to which I will assign the current name and IP address of our vCenter Server.
Questions:
- Should I just do a fresh install of vCenter Server on my 'new' server and then add my existing two hosts to it?
- If so, what do I lose from not going through all the (complicated) migration steps that VMWare has on their website?
