Not able to migrate VM to SAN

[wihe1]

Hi all,

I'm following the Starwind ESX storage migration manual. Every thing works out fine, until I want to migrate a virtual machine.
The manual says (P.32): To migrate the virtual machine, right-clickon it and click "Migrate.."

But rightclicking the VM does not show this option. Please help.

I am running ESXI 5.5 with a server and to desktops as VM's Neither of them shows the option.
I control the VM's using the VMware client (not the webclient)

I am running Starwind 8.0 on another physical machine running Windows server 2012 stndard

The configuration is a Lab environment allowing me to build knowledge of and experience with Esxi, Starwind and server environments. That's why I am running license free versions

Who can tell me what I am doing wrong?

Well, that doesn't look lie the StarWind issue. Actually my first guess is that you have mistyped and you are using VirtualCenter 2.5, and this option is not available there. Make sure you have VMWare tools installed and follow the guide below:

If it does not work, try Storage vMotion:

Also, maybe your vSphere license doesn't cover the vMotion feature.
I hope it helps.
