To support Workload Migrations for NSX V2T in a Federated NSX environment, you must explicitly configure HCX with the Global Manager running the NSX Migration Coordinator in addition to the Local Manager.

In Federated NSX architectures, a single NSX Global Manager manages multiple local NSX deployments. For V2T migrations in this federated environment, the Migration Coordinator must be running on the Global Manager. In this case, you must configure HCX Cloud with the Global Manager that is running the Migration Coordinator.

Note: The NSX Global Manager populates local NSX managers with all global network segments known to the Global Manager. These networks are flagged in HCX as Global Networks in the HCX inventory, and become available for use for Bulk, RAV, and vMotion migrations. These global segments, however, are not supported for HCX Interconnect configuration, meaning Network Profile and Compute Profile creation with Global Segments or Global transport Zones.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the HCX Cloud appliance and log in using the admin user credentials.

  2. Navigate to the Configuration tab.
  3. Select NSX Migration Coordinator and enter the Global Manager URL.
    When configuring NSX V2T Migration in Federated NSX, enter the Global Manager running the NSX Migration Coordinator.
  4. Repeat this procedure for each HCX deployment that performs V2T migrations.
  5. Navigate to the Dashboard tab and verify that the NSX Migration Coordinator appears in the display.
