VMware vSAN Migration Guide

Plan vSAN-backed workload migration with data movement, storage policy, capacity, resiliency, and validation considerations.

Published September 2, 2026Updated September 2, 2026

Direct Answer

Treat vSAN migration as a storage and resilience project, not a VM export task. Document storage policies, data placement, capacity headroom, failure domains, and recovery objectives before moving workloads.

Validate

Prove application consistency, backup restore, performance, and failure handling in a pilot. Include it in the migration readiness assessment.
