If Security Policies in your NSX-V environment use third-party Network Introspection services provided by partners, partner services must be registered with NSX-T before you start the migration.
You might need to upgrade the Partner Console to ensure that the partner service is registered with the version of NSX-T that is used for this migration. For more information, see the partner documentation.
- Intrusion detection services (IDS)
- Intrusion protection services (IPS)
- Network monitoring services
- Next-generation firewall services
A partner registers the service, vendor template, and the Partner Management Console/Partner Service Manager. Then, either you or the partner can create the service profile. It can vary from one partner to another. See the partner documentation.
In the following procedure, step 2 is required when your NSX-V environment uses only Network Introspection service.
If your environment uses a combination of both Guest Introspection and Network Introspection services from a single partner (partner A), partner does step 1. Step 2 is not required.
- Use the Partner Console of partner A to register the Guest Introspection service. See the partner documentation for help on registering the service.
- Partner B registers the Network Introspection service (step 1 of the procedure). Either you or the partner can create the service profile, as explained in step 2.
