vsphere upgrade - how migrated vm's are affected
We are running NBU 8.0 and only use vmware policy (based on vSphere folder name) accelerated backups to MSDP. We will be migrating all vSphere 5.1 vm's to a brand new vSphere 6.5 infrastructure.
Is there any guidance for this? Obviously we are looking for as little NBU disruption as possible but are concerned that the migrated vm's might be seen as brand new vm's. Does anyone know how exactly NBU identifies a vm?
In terms of the accelerated backups ideally NBU would be able to detect that it has an existing accelerated backup of the vm and so would not need to do a full (forced rescan) backup of the vm. Would this work?
Many thanks,
Graham
