 +[[https://docs.infoblox.com/space/NVIG/35786270/Migrating+NIOS+Virtual+Appliances|vMotion—Hot]] and Cold VMware vMotion migrations are supported. However, Cold migrations can result in a change in HWID and MAC Address, which invalidates the licensing. When this occurs, the licenses will need to be regenerated based on the new appliance details.

 Cold V-motion is not recommended by Infoblox. Cold vMotion occurs when a vNIOS appliance is shutdown during vMotion. Performing Cold vMotion on a vNIOS appliance resets the Hardware ID and MAC address of the Virtual network interfaces of the VMWare ESXI servers.  Rather that using Cold vMotion, use Hot vMotion on vNIOS hosts. Hot vMotion occurs when the vNIOS appliance is not shut down. Hot vMotion preserves the Hardware ID and MAC address of the virtual network interfaces. As a result, the licenses are not affected. Cold V-motion is not recommended by Infoblox. Cold vMotion occurs when a vNIOS appliance is shutdown during vMotion.
