Migrating vSphere Networking

For environments with vSphere 6.X you can use the migration coordinator to migrate an existing vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) configuration to an NSX-T Data Center environment backed by NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS).

For VDS 6.5.0 and 6.6.0, the migration coordinator will move VDS, compute hosts, PNICs, vmkNICs, and vNIC backings to N-VDS.

Note: For VDS 7.0, vSphere networking to N-VDS migration is not supported. You must perform a fresh install of NSX-T Data Center and configure it for use with your vSphere deployment using VDS 7.0.

Note: You can use the migration coordinator to migrate VDS configurations to NSX-T only if NSX-v is not installed on the host.
