Join the vRealize Automation replica nodes to the vRealize Automation cluster to synchronize the
Orchestrator configuration.
For more information, see Reconfigure the Target Embedded vRealize Orchestrator to Support High
Availability in Installing or Upgrading vRealize Automation.
Note The vRealize Orchestrator instances are automatically clustered and available for use.

Add the vRealize Automation host and the IaaS host to the inventory of the vRealize Automation
plug-in, by running the Add a vRA host and Add the IaaS host of a vRA host workflows.
Migrate the Embedded vRealize Orchestrator Server from
vRealize Automation 7.x to 7.3
You can migrate the vRealize Orchestrator server from your vRealize Automation 7.x source environment
to vRealize Automation 7.3 by performing these procedures.
Prerequisites
Successful migration to vRealize Automation 7.3.
Procedure
1 Temporarily Change the Configuration of the Source vRealize Automation Appliance
Before you migrate the vRealize Orchestrator server from your vRealize Automation 7.x source
environment to vRealize Automation 7.3, you must run the commands in this procedure to
temporarily change the configuration of the source vRealize Automation appliance.
2 Export the Configuration from the Embedded vRealize Orchestrator on the Source vRealize
Automation Appliance
Before you migrate the vRealize Orchestrator server from your vRealize Automation 7.x source
environment to vRealize Automation 7.3, you must run the commands in this procedure to export the
configuration of the embedded source vRealize Orchestrator.
3 Import the Configuration and Database of the Embedded Source vRealize Orchestrator to the
Embedded Target vRealize Orchestrator
Run the commands in this procedure to migrate the vRealize Orchestrator server from your
vRealize Automation 7.x source environment to vRealize Automation 7.3.
4 Reconfigure the Target Embedded vRealize Orchestrator to Support High Availability
For a high-availability deployment, you must manually rejoin each target replica vRealize Automation
appliance to the cluster to enable high-availability support for the embedded vRealize Orchestrator.
5 Restore the Configuration of the Source vRealize Automation Appliance
Use this procedure to restore the configuration of the source vRealize Automation appliance.
