Migrate a vRealize Automation Deployment with Automatic IaaS
Database Cloning
You can use the automatic migration process to migrate your vRealize Automation 6.2.x deployment to 7.1
using automatic IaaS database cloning.
Although this procedure automates most of the migration process, successful migration depends on the
following conditions:
n
The Model Manager node must have good connectivity with the source and target Microsoft SQL
Servers. Networks with low bandwidth can time out while transferring a huge amount of data between
the servers.
n
The source and target Microsoft SQL Servers must be in the same domain.
n
The target Microsoft SQL Server IaaS database logins must be the same as the logins congured in the
source Microsoft SQL Server IaaS database.
Procedure
1 Obtain the encryption key from your vRealize Automation 6.2.x deployment.
a Run the following command in an administrative command prompt on the virtual machine that
hosts active Manager service to obtain the encryption key .
C:\Program Files
(x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\ConfigTool\EncryptionKeyTool\DynamicOps.Tools.EncryptionKeyTool.
exe" key-read -c "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\ManagerService.exe.config" -v
If your installation directory is not in the default location, C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC,
you must edit the path to your own installation directory.
b Copy and save the key that appears after you run the command.
The key is a long string of characters that looks similar to this:
NRH+f/BlnCB6yvasLS3sxespgdkcFWAEuyV0g4lfryg=
