Understanding
vRealize Automation Migration 1
The migration process gathers data from your supported source vRealize Automation system and
migrates that data to the clean target system. Information about migration is captured in the pre-migration
and migration reports and logs. You can use information in the reports to recreate data that was not
migrated.

Migration Process Overview
The migration process gathers data from your source vCloud Automation Center system and migrates
that data to the clean vRealize Automation target system. Information about migration is captured in the
pre-migration and migration reports and logs. You can use information in the reports to recreate data that
was not migrated.
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 migration process consists of the following main steps.
1 Install and configure the target vRealize Automation system.
2 Download the migration tool and run the pre-migration task.
3 Review the pre-migration report.
4 Take corrective action based on information in the report and rerun pre-migration.
5 (Optional) When you are satisfied with the content of the pre-migration report, take the source system
offline and rerun pre-migration a final time.
6 Perform specified manual tasks after pre-migration is finished and before starting migration.
