Preparing for Migration 2
Before the migration process begins, you must prepare the migration environment.
Understanding and meeting the migration process prerequisites is critical to success. Use the migration
worksheets to collect information that you need to supply during pre-migration and migration.

Prerequisites for vRealize Automation Migration
Review the migration overview and prerequisites before you start the migration process.
The Changes from vCloud Automation Center 5.2 and Foundations and Concepts documentation helps
administrators better understand the new vRealize Automation functions and behaviors. The Changes
from vCloud Automation Center 5.2 PDF is available online in the 6.0 documentation.
Migration to vRealize Automation 6.2 requires that the source system be at vCloud Automation Center
5.2.3 and the target system be at vRealize Automation 6.2 or a later 6.2.x version.
All instances of vCloud Automation Center 5.2, in reference to migration to vRealize Automation 6.2
represent vCloud Automation Center 5.2.3.
The following prerequisites are required for migration.
n
Install, configure, and license the target vRealize Automation system.
You must have a clean vRealize Automation target system installed and configured in support of
migration.
n
Establish domain trust between the source and target systems.
n
Configure the target identity store and default vsphere.local tenant for Native Active Directory.
n
Assign one or more identity store users to be default tenant administrators.
n
Ensure that the DEM and agent names that you provide during installation match the DEM and
agent names used in the source system.
