The first step of the migration process is to import the NSX-V with vRealize Automation configuration.
Prerequisites
- Generate a deployment configuration file in a .json format from the vRealize Automation environment. The configuration file must be valid and conform to a predefined JSON schema.
Procedure
- From a browser, log in to NSX Manager as admin.
- Navigate to .
- In the vRealize Automation pane, click Get Started and select Fixed Topology.
- In the Upload Deployment Configuration File section, click Select File. Select the .json configuration file that was generated from the vRealize Automation environment, and click Upload.
After uploading a file, if necessary, you can click
Select File again and upload a different file. The previous file is overwritten. You cannot remove the
.json file after it is uploaded. The configuration file is removed only if you take any of the following actions:
- Roll back the migration on the Import Configuration page or the Migrate Configuration page.
- Finish the migration on the Migrate Hosts page.
- Click Start to import the configuration.
- When the import has finished, click Continue to proceed to the Resolve Configuration page.
Results
When the NSX-V with vRealize Automation topology is imported successfully, the View Imported Topology link is enabled. Click this link to view a graph of the imported topology. However, the topology viewer does not work for a scaled NSX-V environment.
