Change DoDeletes Setting on the vSphere Agent to False
If you migrate from a vRealize Automation 6.2.4 environment, you must change the DoDeletes setting on
your target vSphere agent before migration. This prevents virtual machines from your source environment
being deleted after migration.
Follow the steps in the Configure the vSphere Agent procedure in Installing vRealize Automation to set
DoDeletes to false.
Prerequisites
You have completed the prerequisites for migration.
What to do next
