Migrate an Embedded vRealize Orchestrator
7.x Cluster
You can migrate a clustered vRealize Orchestrator deployment that is embedded in a
vRealize Automation 7.x environment to an embedded
Automation Orchestrator Client
8.x environment. - Migration is supported for embedded vRealize Orchestrator 7.3 or later.
- Configure aAutomation Orchestrator Clientcluster in your targetVMware Aria Automation8.x environment. SeeConfigure a vRealize Orchestrator ClusterinInstalling and Configuring VMware vRealize Orchestrator.
- Back up the targetVMware Aria Automationenvironment.
- Verify that SSH access is enabled on the source vRealize Automation instance and targetVMware Aria Automationenvironment.
- Verify that the source vRealize Automation database is accessible from the targetVMware Aria Automationenvironment.
The migration transfers a clustered vRealize Orchestrator 7.x configuration to your
Automation Orchestrator Client
8.x
environment. The migration involves overwriting all existing elements in your
Automation Orchestrator Client
8.x
environment.You perform the migration by using the
vro-migrate
script bundled with the vRealize Orchestrator
appliance. The migration script
stops the vRealize Orchestrator services of the primary node automatically.
Before you run the migration script, stop the services of the replica nodes of
your clustered 7.x
deployment.
service vco-server stop service vco-configurator stop
- Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator appliance command line of your target environment over SSH asroot.
- To start the migration, run thevro-migratescript.
- Follow the command prompts to provide the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and credentials of the source vRealize Orchestrator instance.
- To follow the migration progress, access the migration log:
- Log in to your targetAutomation Orchestrator Clientappliance command line over a separate SSH session asroot.
- Run thetail -f /var/log/vro-migration.logcommand.
The migration process begins. You receive a notification on the targetAutomation Orchestrator Clientappliance when the migration finishes. - If you want to access your vRealize Orchestrator 7.x environment after migration, log in to the source vRealize Orchestrator appliance and restart thevco-serverandvco-configuratorservices.
You have migrated your clustered vRealize Orchestrator deployment.
