Perform the tasks in the following sections for either an end-to-end migration or a lift-and-shift migration.

What to read next

Deploy an NSX Manager Appliance
You must deploy a new NSX Manager appliance to run the migration coordinator. Do not deploy an NSX Global Manager.
Add a Compute Manager
Before you can start the migration process, you must add the VMware vCenter that is associated with NSX-V as a compute manager in NSX.
Change the Global MTU Setting
When an Edge Services Gateway (ESG) is migrated, the MTU setting of the interfaces is not migrated. A default value of 1500 is used. You can change the default value using the API.
Create an IP Pool for Edge Tunnel End Points
If your NSX-V environment uses Edge Services Gateways, you must create an IP pool in the NSX environment for the Edge Tunnel End Points (TEP) before you start the migration.
Plan the Mapping of the NSX-V Topology to the NSX Topology
Review the NSX-V topology and decide how to map it to the NSX topology. During the migration, the "Define a Topology" step will prompt you for the mapping.
Deploy NSX Edge Nodes
You can deploy NSX Edge nodes using an OVA or OVF file or from the NSX Manager user interface.
Join NSX Edge Node VM with the Management Plane
You must join the NSX Edge node VM you created to the management plane.
Configure NSX for a User-Defined Topology Migration
Before migrating a user-defined topology, you must configure NSX.
