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 a
    Automation Orchestrator Client
     cluster in your target
    VMware Aria Automation
     8.x environment. See
    Configure a vRealize Orchestrator Cluster
     in
    Installing and Configuring VMware vRealize Orchestrator
    .
  • Back up the target
    VMware Aria Automation
     environment.
  • Verify that SSH access is enabled on the source vRealize Automation instance and target
    VMware Aria Automation
     environment.
  • Verify that the source vRealize Automation database is accessible from the target
    VMware Aria Automation
     environment.
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
  1. Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator appliance command line of your target environment over SSH as
    root
    .
  2. To start the migration, run the
    vro-migrate
     script.
  3. Follow the command prompts to provide the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and credentials of the source vRealize Orchestrator instance.
  4. To follow the migration progress, access the migration log:
    1. Log in to your target
      Automation Orchestrator Client
       appliance command line over a separate SSH session as
      root
      .
    2. Run the
      tail -f /var/log/vro-migration.log
       command.
    The migration process begins. You receive a notification on the target
    Automation Orchestrator Client
     appliance when the migration finishes.
  5. If you want to access your vRealize Orchestrator 7.x environment after migration, log in to the source vRealize Orchestrator appliance and restart the
    vco-server
     and
    vco-configurator
     services.
You have migrated your clustered vRealize Orchestrator deployment.
