What action must an administrator perform to migrate VM data from a legacy ESXi cluster to an AHV cluster?

Whitelist the ESXi cluster IP address
Disable the ESXi cluster
Export the VM to a file
Initiate a live migration

The correct answer is: Whitelist the ESXi cluster IP address

To migrate VM data from a legacy ESXi cluster to an AHV cluster, whitelisting the ESXi cluster IP address is a critical step. This action allows the AHV environment to recognize and communicate with the ESXi cluster during the migration process. In Nutanix environments, whitelisting is often necessary to enable secure connections and ensure that the data transfer can occur without network connectivity issues or security restrictions. This connectivity is a prerequisite for any migration operation, as it establishes a trusted communication link between the two clusters, enabling the successful transfer of VM data. The other options do not directly address the requirements for the migration process. Disabling the ESXi cluster could disrupt operations and hinder migration, exporting the VM to a file is a different method that does not employ direct VM migration, and initiating a live migration typically requires the source and destination clusters to be fully compatible and connected, which reinforces the need for initial whitelisting.
