Migrate Data Sources to a Different Collector

If a collector VM is down or deleted, you can add a new collector VM and migrate data source from the old collector VM to the new collector VM.
  1. Go to
    Settings > Infrastructure and Support > Overview and Updates > Collector VMs
     section, click the edit icon next to the collector name in the list.
    If the collector VM is down, you see the error message. The Edit Collector page lists all the data sources added to the collector.
  2. To migrate a data source, click
    Migrate
     for a particular data source.
  3. Enter the required information of the new collector on the Edit Account or Source page.
    Fields
    Description
    Collector VM
    Name of the new collector VM to which the data source has to be migrated
    IP Address
    Pre-filled IP/FQDN address of data source
    Username
    Username for the data source
    Password
    Password for the data source
  4. Click
    Validate
     and then click
    Submit
    .
    The data source is then deleted in the old collector VM and is added to the new collector VM.
  5. Once the migration is successful, you will see the new collector VM against the data source in the
    Enabled
     column in the
    Accounts and Data Sources
     page.
    • If you are migrating
      VMware vCenter
       to another collector VM, then ensure that you migrate the corresponding NSX Manager also to the same collector VM.
    • When you migrate NSX Manager to another collector VM, the child data providers such as NSX controller and NSX Edge are also migrated to the new collector VM.
