Pair
VMware Cloud Director
 Cloud Sites

To support migrations from private cloud sites running
VMware Cloud Director
 to
VMware Cloud Director service
, in the private cloud deploy or upgrade to
VMware Cloud Director Availability
 4.2, pair the existing instance of
VMware Cloud Director Availability
 operating in this private cloud and enable the VMC data engine.
  • Verify that
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
     4.2 is deployed in the private cloud site.
  • Verify that before pairing a private cloud site, the
    Public Service Endpoint
    public-IP-address
     of the
    Tunnel Appliance
     in the private cloud site is added as trusted in both the management and in the compute groups in the
    VMware Cloud on AWS
     SDDC. For information about adding the IP address in the trusted inventory groups, see Prepare the SDDC in VMware Cloud on AWS for deployment.
  • Verify that
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
     configuration in the
    VMware Cloud on AWS
     environment is complete. For more information, see Configure VMware Cloud Director Availability in VMware Cloud on AWS.
In addition to migrating workloads from on-premises sites to
VMware Cloud on AWS
, to perform migrations from
VMware Cloud Director
 cloud sites, also called private cloud sites, first pair then configure them with the VMC data engine.
  1. Pair the private cloud site. For information about the pairing see Managing Connections Between Cloud Sites and Pair Cloud Sites in the
    Administration Guide
    .
    You established trust between
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
     in
    VMware Cloud on AWS
     and the paired private cloud site.
  2. To enable migrations to
    VMware Cloud on AWS
     from the paired private cloud site, in
    VMware Cloud Director Availability
     in the private cloud site select the VMC data engine.
    1. In the left pane, under
      Configuration
       click
      Settings
      .
    2. Under
      Site settings
      , next to
      Data engine
      , click
      Edit
      .
    3. In the
      Data engine
       window, select
      VMC
       and click
      Apply
      .
      The existing replications from the private cloud site can continue operating when both the classic and the VMC data engines are selected.
      If
      VMware Cloud Director Availability
       is only paired with
      VMware Cloud on AWS
       and not paired with private cloud sites, do not enable the
      Classic
       engine.
The private cloud site is paired and prepared to migrate workloads to the
VMware Cloud on AWS
 environment.
You can now create migrations and migrate workloads from the paired private cloud site to
VMware Cloud on AWS
. These migrations to
VMware Cloud Director service
 follow the same configuration as migrations to
VMware Cloud Director
. For information about creating a migration and migrating the workload, see Create a Migration and Perform a Migrate Task in the
User Guide
