Migrate an External vRealize Orchestrator 7.x to
vRealize Automation 7.3
You can export the configuration from your existing external Orchestrator instance and import it to the
Orchestrator server that is built into vRealize Automation.
Note If you have multiple vRealize Automation appliance nodes, perform the migration procedure only
on the primary vRealize Automation node.
Prerequisites
n
Successful migration to vRealize Automation 7.3.
n
Stop the Orchestrator server service on the external Orchestrator.
n
Back up the database, including the database schema, of teh external Orchestrator server.
Procedure
1 Export the configuration from the external Orchestrator server.
a Log in to Control Center of the external Orchestrator server as root or as an administrator,
depending on the source version.
b Stop the Orchestrator server service from the Startup Options page to prevent unwanted
changes to the database.
c Go to the Export/Import Configuration page.
d On the Export Configuration page, select Export server configuration, Bundle plug-ins and
Export plug-in configurations.
2 Migrate the exported configuration into the embedded Orchestrator instance.
a Upload the exported Orchestrator configuration file to
the /usr/lib/vco/tools/configuration-cli/bin directory of the vRealize Automation
appliance.
b Log in to the vRealize Automation appliance over SSH as root.
c Stop the Orchestrator server service and the Control Center service of the built-in
vRealize Orchestrator server.
service vco-server stop && service vco-configurator stop
d Navigate to the /usr/lib/vco/tools/configuration-cli/bin directory.
