Hi,

The "Configuring and Monitoring Virtual Machines for Vertica 7.2.x" blog post still applies to Vertica 9.2.x.

See:

Specifically:

Vertica does not support the following feature: VMware Vmotion

It would be useful for the official Vertica documentation to clarify this topic, as customers are more often using ESX as a platform for Vertica these days. Perhaps what Vertica doesn't wish to support is storage vmotion and with some validation might be willing to support server vmotion however that would be up to the product owners.
