If you migrated from VMware vRealize Automation 7.x to VMware Identity Manager 3.3.3 or upgraded an NSX-T deployment to VMware Identity Manager 3.3.3, and your deployment includes external VMware Identity Manager Linux connectors, you must migrate your external Linux connectors to external VMware Identity Manager 3.3.3 Windows connectors.
To migrate, you download the migration package from My VMware to each external Linux connector instance, and run the generateClusterFile.sh migration script. The script saves the configuration information from the Linux connector to the cluster-hostname-conn-timestamp.enc configuration package file. You then copy each configuration package file to a separate Windows host, and install a new Windows connector instance using the configuration package file.
Perform this procedure for each external Linux connector instance that you want to migrate.
Prerequisites
- If you have configured any authentication methods on the external Linux connector in addition to password authentication, make a note of the authentication adapter configurations. During connector migration, only the Password authentication adapter is migrated. After you migrate to the new Windows connector, you must reconfigure the other authentication adapters.
- Download the cluster-support.tgz cluster-migration package from the VMware Identity Manager 3.3.3 Download page on My VMware to the Linux connector virtual appliance. Save the file under the /root directory.
- Prepare a Windows server for the new, external Windows connector. See System Requirements for VMware Identity Manager Connector (Windows) in Installing and Configuring VMware Identity Manager Connector 2018.8.1.0 (Windows).
- Download the VMware Identity Manager Connector 3.3.3 (Windows) installer from the VMware Identity Manager 3.3.3 Download page on My VMware to the Windows server you prepared for the external Windows connector.
