Before you can migrate to VMware Aria Automation 8, you need to perform a migration assessment.

You can perform a migration assessment against your source environment and any embedded VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator instances to determine the migration readiness of your vRealize Automation 7 source environment. The migration assessment alerts you to any system object and its dependencies that are not ready for migration and that will impact your migration process. See Considerations about Aria Automation 8.

After performing a migration assessment you can then migrate to import content and configuration data from your current vRealize Automation 7 source environment to VMware Aria Automation 8.

Before you can run a migration assessment and migration, you must enable the migration assistant service.

To enable the migration assistant feature:

  1. After upgrading and deploying a new VMware Aria Automation 8 instance, navigate to Identity and Access Management.
  2. Select the user, edit the role to Cloud Administrator, and migration service administrator or viewer. Add the migration assessment service.
  3. Log user out of VMware Aria Automation 8.
  4. Log user in to VMware Aria Automation 8 to see the Migration Assessment tile.
