Run a Precheck on the Target vCenter Before Conversion

Before you perform a management domain convert operation, you must run a quick precheck to validate that the target vCenter configuration is supported for conversion.

This precheck is read-only. No modifications are made to the vCenter Server.

Note:

This only applies to the management domain vCenter Server. Importing a VI workload domain runs a different set of checks.

Procedure

1. SSH to the vCenter Server VM as user root.
2. Navigate to the directory where you copied the VCF Import Tool. For example:

   cd /tmp/vcfimport/vcf_brownfield

3. Run the following command to precheck the target vCenter.

   python3 vcf_brownfield.py precheck --vcenter '<my-vcenter-address>' --sso-user '<my-sso-username>' --sso-password '<my-sso-password>'
4. If any prechecks fail, refer to the troubleshooting section of this guide for more information.
   See VCF Import Tool Troubleshooting.

What to do next

After the precheck succeeds, remove the VCF Import Tool from the vCenter appliance.
