Procedure
1 In your target vRealize Automation 7.3 environment, open a browser and go to the master vRealize
Automation appliance management console at https://vra-va-hostname.domain.name:5480.
2 Log in with the user name root and the password you entered when you deployed the appliance.
3 Select vRA Settings > Migration.
4 Enter the information for the source vRealize Automation appliance.
Option Description
Host name The host name for the source vRealize Automation appliance.
Root username
root
Root password The root password that you entered when you deployed the source
vRealize Automation appliance.
5 Enter the information for the target vRealize Automation appliance.
Option Description
Root username
root
Root password The root password that you entered when you deployed the target
vRealize Automation appliance.
Default tenant The default tenant you created when you configured single sign-on in the
Installation wizard, usually vsphere.local.
Administrator username The tenant administrator user name that you entered when you deployed the
target vRealize Automation appliance. Change existing value if necessary.
Administrator password The password that you entered for the default tenant administrator when you
deployed the target vRealize Automation appliance.
6 Enter the information for the target IaaS database server.
Option Description
Database server The location of the Microsoft SQL Server instance where the restored vRealize
Automation IaaS Microsoft SQL database resides. If a named instance and a non-
default port are used, enter in SERVER,PORT\INSTANCE-NAME format. If you
