How migrate Vcenter to VCSA database

Hi. We have Vcenter here, and I'm trying to migrate it to the vcenter server appliance. Now, I have installed the VCSA (5.5 for now, upgrade later). I've been reading lots of vmware docs, as well as 3rd party sites, but they only seem to cover the VCSA installation. I haven't found out how I can "import" VMs and current vcenter settings to the VCSA database. I'm probably missing something fundamental, so forgive me for that. I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. Thank you.
