How to migrate VMs from one Oracle VM Server (OVS) to another OVS?

Hi Team,

I'm currently working on an Oracle VM environment and need some guidance on VM migration.

We have two Oracle VM Servers (OVS) configured — both running the same version. I want to migrate or move virtual machines (VMs) from one OVS server to another.

Could you please confirm:

  1. Is it possible to migrate VMs directly between two OVS servers?
  2. What is the recommended method — live migration or offline migration?
  3. Are there any prerequisites or configurations required (like shared storage or Oracle VM Manager setup)?
  4. If Oracle VM Manager is not used, how to migrate/move?

Any step-by-step guidance or documentation reference would be really helpful.

Howdy, Stranger!
