Retain Historical Data of VMs Migrated Using VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension

In
VMware Aria Operations
 you can use VMware Hybrid Cloud Extension (HCX) to perform application migration, workload rebalancing, and business continuity across data centers and clouds. You can also migrate workloads from on-premises data centers to VMware Cloud.
Earlier when you performed HCX bulk migration to migrate workloads from one datacenter to another datacenter, or from one datacenter to VMware Cloud.
VMware Aria Operations
 failed to retain the historic metrics.
Now
VMware Aria Operations
 has implemented a solution which is triggered during HCX migration. The event helps
VMware Aria Operations
 to collect details and manage the target vCenter to identify the workload migration.
After mapping the right attributes of VMs in the source datacenter with the VMs in the destination datacenter, you can verify if
VMware Aria Operations
 is able to retain all the historical metrics. The HCX migration types supported in
VMware Aria Operations
 are:
  • Bulk Migration
  • vMotion Based Migration (hot & cold)
  • Replication Assisted Migration
HCX vMotion
VMware Aria Operations
 performs the following actions during HCX vMotion.
  • Get the target
    VCI
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     from event using the resource key.
  • Get the source
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     from event using the resource key.
  • Maps the correct target
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     to the source VM in
    VMware Aria Operations
    .
vMotion Generic Scenario
VMware Aria Operations
 performs the following actions during vMotion.
  • Get the target
    VCI
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     from event using the resource key.
  • Detects the discovered target VM in
    VMware Aria Operations
     , based on the
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     attribute.
  • For the detected target VMs, get VMs with
    VM Entity Instance UUID
    , and map the
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     for these VMs.
  • Search
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     in the event message to find the actual vMotion VM.
  • Set the correct target
    VCID
    ,
    VM-VC-MOID
     to the right VM in on source
    VMware Aria Operations
    .
