Running the Pre-Migration Task 3
The pre-migration task collects, records, and stores vCloud Automation Center 5.2 data in preparation for
migration.
Pre-migration performs the following tasks.
n
Collects and prepares data from the source system
n
Stores collected and prepared data
n
Generates the pre-migration report and logs
n
Specifies additional manual tasks that must be completed after pre-migration and before migration
The pre-migration task stores data in the source database and creates objects in the target system. The
objects are not functional until migration is finished. Do not use the target system until migration is
finished.
You must perform additional manual tasks after pre-migration is finished and before you start migration.
See Chapter 4 Performing Manual Operations After Pre-Migration.
