vCenter Server Deployment Uses Embedded Update Manager
If Update Manager, vCenter Server, and vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 run on the same machine, or if
Update Manager 5.5 and vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 run on the same machine, perform the following steps:
1 “Move the Update Manager Server and Database to a New Host Machine,” on page 22.
2 Migrate vCenter Server 5.5 or vCenter Single Sign-On to an appliance. See Chapter 6, “Migration of
vCenter Server with an Embedded vCenter Single Sign-On to an Appliance,” on page 35 and
Chapter 7, “Migration of vCenter Server with an External vCenter Single Sign-On to an Appliance,” on
page 41
3 Upgrade Update Manager to the same version as the target vCenter Server Appliance, and connect
Update Manager to the target vCenter Server Appliance. For more information on how to upgrade
Update Manager, see the vSphere Update Manager documentation.
vCenter Server Deployment Uses External Update Manager
If Update Manager runs on a dierent machine than vCenter Server 5.5 and vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5,
perform the following steps:
1 Migrate vCenter Server 5.5 or vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 to an appliance. See Chapter 6, “Migration of
vCenter Server with an Embedded vCenter Single Sign-On to an Appliance,” on page 35 and
Chapter 7, “Migration of vCenter Server with an External vCenter Single Sign-On to an Appliance,” on
page 41
2 Upgrade Update Manager to the same version as the target vCenter Server Appliance, and connect
Update Manager to the target vCenter Server Appliance. For more information on how to upgrade
Update Manager, see the vSphere Update Manager documentation.
Move the Update Manager Server and Database to a New Host Machine
Before migrating a vCenter Server instance that runs on Windows to vCenter Server Appliance, if your
vCenter Server deployment uses embedded Update Manager, you must rst move Update Manager to a
new host machine.
Prerequisites
Create a virtual machine of have a physical server with a compatible version of Windows for installing
Update Manager. For more information, see Supported host operating systems for VMware vCenter Server
installation (including vCenter Update Manager and vRealize Orchestrator) (2091273).
Procedure
1 On the source machine, stop the VMware vSphere Update Manager Service.
2 On the source machine, stop the VMware vSphere Update Manager UFA Service.
3 Depending on whether the Update Manager database is on the same machine as the Update Manager
server, or on a dierent machine, perform the following steps:
u
If the Update Manager database and the Update Manager server run on the same source machine:
a On the source machine, back up the Update Manager database.
b On the destination machine, copy the Update Manager database backup, and restore the
database.
u
If the Update Manager database and the Update Manager server run on dierent machines, move
to the next step.
