Very helpful. Their naming conventions seem to be all over the place.

Extremely insightful, thanks Bob the details matter obviously and as others glance over or make assumptions about levels of comprehension of tech of others via gatekeeping in the the space. I am glad to getting refreshing video of professionals like yourself that make it work and easily troubleshoot and explain issues- you make it look too easy...👏

Seems there's a bit of confusion between "VMware" and vCenter. None of the products is called "VMware" and no single product is called "vSphere." You may want to review this video and consider a re-post. Also, there are about six ways to move a VM from a single host to another single host. SCP is one. Backup/restore is another. Setting up a temporary-for-60-days vCenter is another. Export/Import, yet again. Then there's download/upload. Oy!

Enjoy your server and other VMware-oriented videos overall. Keep going!
