Migration Path to migrate from 2.x to 3.0
You can migrate from older version (2.x) to the version 3.0 release using the Backup and Restore path. or start with a fresh
deployment of the v3.0 OVF after uninstalling the old version..
Do the following to migrate from older version to the OMIVV 3.0 version:
1. Take a Back up of the database for the older (v2.x) release.

support/manuals.
2. Power off the older appliance from vCenter.
