Depending on your system needs, you might need to migrate your source tenants using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager before you can migrate to vRealize Automation 8.x.

Tenant Migration involves close coordination between Workspace ONE Access (formerly known as VMware Identity Manager), vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, and vRealize Automation. When migrating tenants using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, embedded VMware Identity Manager data in vRealize Automation 7 is migrated to the Global Environment of VMware Identity Manager version 3.3.3 and later. After migrating tenants, you can perform the merge tenant operation in vRealize Automation, in which you migrate vRealize Automation 7 environment to vRealize Automation 8. For more information on adding, deleting, or managing your tenants, refer to the Tenant Management section of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager documentation. For a video walkthrough of migrating tenants using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, see vRealize 8.x -Tenant Migration.

Note: Tenant migration using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager is not supported for vRealize Automation 7.4. Tenant migration is only supported for 7.5 and 7.6. To migrate tenants from vRealize Automation 7.4 to 8.x, you must migrate them manually. vRealize Automation 8.x does not support assessing and migrating a tenant from vRealize Automation 7.x to 2 or more organizations of the same vRA 8.x instance.

A diagram of how tenants are migrated using LCM. vRA 7.x tenants are migrated to a Global Environment via Workspace One (formerly vIDM). At the same time vRA constructs migration by creating 8.x tenants fro the vRA 7.x tenants.
