HCX OS Assisted Migration works the same in VMware Cloud on AWS SDDCs as it does in any other HCX deployment.

Migrating virtual machines using OS Assisted Migration has the following requirements:

  • The migration service is activated in both the source and the destination site Compute Profile.
  • The migration service is activated in the HCX Service Mesh.
  • Sentinel software is installed on all guest virtual machines requiring OSAM migration.
