Our goal is to move our 5.5 hosts to another (existing) vcenter instance running 6.0. Our 5.5 hosts are configured in an HA/DRS cluster. I am not sure how to move these hosts to the other vcenter instance and hoping someone can shed some light or provide some sort of specific articles. Am i on the right track with the steps below?
Any help or references would be greatly appreciated
Yes, you need to create the resource pools at the target vcenter.
Take a look at this KB for how to move a vSphere ESXi host to another vCenter:VMware Knowledge Base
And if you're using vDS, you should look here: VMware Knowledge Base

Do i need to remove hosts from resource pools and then re create the resource pools at the target vcenter?
