The migration template is deployed. You can Verify Your vCenter Server Appliance Upgrade or Migration
Is Successful.
Syntax of the CLI Migrate Command
You can use one or more command arguments to set the execution parameters of the migrate command.
You can add a space-separated list of arguments to the CLI upgrade command.
vcsa-deploy migrate list_of_arguments path_to_the_json_file
The required template argument provides the path of a JSON file that describes the
vCenter Server Appliance deployment procedure. You can place multiple JASON files in a directory, and
the CLI will migrate all of the deployments in batch mode. For more information on performing concurrent
migrations, see Prepare JSON Configuration Files for CLI Migration.
Important The string values, including the passwords, must contain only ASCII characters. Extended
ASCII and non-ASCII characters are unsupported.
To set a value that contains the backslash (\) or quotation mark (") character, you must precede the
character with the backslash (\) character. For example, "password":"my\"password" sets the
password my"password, "image":"C:\\vmware\\vcsa" sets the path C:\vmware\vcsa.
The boolean values must contain only lowercase characters. Can be either true or false. For example,
"ssh.enable":false.
Optional Argument Description
--accept-eula
Accepts the end-user license agreement.
Required for executing the deployment command.
-h, --help Displays the help message for the command.
--template-help
Displays the help message for the configuration parameters in
the JSON deployment file. You can use vcsa-deploy
[subcommand] --help for a list of subcommand-specific
arguments.
-v, --verbose Adds debug information to the console output.
-t, --terse Hides the console output. Displays only warning and error
messages.
--log-dir, LOG_DIR Specifies the location of the log and other output files that the
installer generates.
--skip-ovftool-verification
Performs basic verification of the configuration parameters and
deploys the vCenter Server appliance, but does not validate the
OVF Tool parameters in the ovftool_arguments subsection of
the JSON template. If you set arguments that the OVF Tool does
not recognize, the deployment might fail.
