This process moves management\nof that VM to the specified target backup/recovery appliance as defined in the\n**Move Backup Plan** window.\n\nThe movement of VM management between two appliances is limited to VMs located\nwithin the same vCenter or ESX host. Only appliances that manage VMs in the\nsame vCenter or ESX host can be target appliances for backup plan movement.\nThose appliances are shown in the list of possible target appliances.\n\nMove VM management to another appliance\n---------------------------------------\n\nUse these instructions to move a VM from one appliance to another appliance:\n\n1. From the Backup and DR Service management console, click\n **App Manager** and select **Applications** from the drop-down list.\n\n The **Applications** page opens.\n2. Select the VM that you want to move, then choose **Move Backup Plan** from\n the drop-down list at the bottom right corner of the window.\n\n The **Move Backup Plan** window opens. The VM you select can be managed or\n unmanaged. You can move a VM without first applying a backup plan to manage it.\n3. Choose the target appliance, resource profile, and policy template.\n\n4. Click **Move Backup Plan**.\n\n The moving backup message opens during the move.\n | **Note:** If the VM on the source appliance is managed with a StreamSnap replication policy, and the replication target---including the VM to move---exists on the target appliance, then management console prevents the backup plan move and generates an error message. This occurs because the VM already exists on the target appliance as part of the replication process, where a full copy of data is created at the remote site.\n\n Once migration is complete, the migration complete message displays.\n | **Note:** If the move is not successful, the management console displays a **Move Backup Plan Failed** message along with an explanation of the failure as related to the target appliance. If possible, resolve the issue and attempt to move the backup plan again.\n\nRename a vCenter\n----------------\n\nIf you change the name of a vCenter, then remember to rename the vCenter within\nthe management console.\n\nUse these instructions to rename a vCenter in management console:\n\n1. Click **Manage** and select **Hosts**.\n2. Find your vCenter host and select the **Edit** option.\n3. Update the **Name** field, and select **Save**.\n\n### Effect of changing the UUID of a VM.\n\nIf the UUID of a managed VM changes, then a new full copy occurs on the\nnext backup job. This is because the UUID is a key identifier and a changed\nUUID could mean this is a totally new VM.\n\nThe VMware administrator's guide\n--------------------------------\n\n- [Configure VMware Engine for Backup and DR protection](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/configuration/prepare-vmware)\n- [Add vCenter and ESX server hosts to the management console](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/configuration/add-vcenter-host)\n- [Discover and protect VMware VMs](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/configuration/discover-and-protect-vms)\n- [Apply a backup template to protect a VM](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/create-plan/apply-backup-template-to-manage-a-VM)\n- [Configure Application settings for VMware VMs](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/backup/configure-application-settings-for-vmware-vm)\n- [Restore a VMware VM](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/restore-data/restore-vm)\n- [Mount a VMware image](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/access-data/mount-vmware-image)\n- [Clone an image of a VMware VM](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/access-data/clone-image-of-a-vm)\n- [Create LiveClone workflows](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/access-data/create-liveclone-workflows)\n- [Move VM management between two backup/recovery appliances](/backup-disaster-recovery/docs/configuration/supported-vmware)"]]
