This statement is not universally true. The ability to move or migrate a virtual machine (VM) from one server to another, even if the servers are of different makes or models, largely depends on the virtualization technology used and the compatibility between the hypervisors managing those VMs.
1. Same Hypervisor on Different Hardware: If both the original server and the target server are using the same hypervisor software (e.g., VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, etc.), it is often possible to migrate VMs between servers of different makes, assuming compatibility concerns such as CPU architecture (e.g., both being x86-based) are addressed. Technologies like VMware’s vMotion or Hyper-V Live Migration facilitate this process.
2. Different Hypervisors: Moving VMs between different hypervisor environments (e.g., from VMware to Hyper-V) is more complicated but not impossible. It may require converting the VM’s disk formats and possibly adjusting configuration settings. Tools and services are available for this purpose, such as VMware vCenter Converter or Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter.
3. Cloud Environments: In cloud platforms, such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, VMs can often be moved between different physical servers seamlessly without the user having to manage the underlying server hardware specifics. Cloud providers abstract the hardware layer, making VM mobility easier.
In conclusion, while there might be scenarios where moving a VM to a server of another make is challenging due to compatibility issues
