What is best way to migrate vApps to new vCloud Director.

[legioon]

Hi All,

I have two vCloud Director infrastructures as you can see at below.

I created same configuration on new vCloud Director. ( External Network, Organization, OrgVDC, OrgVDC Network bla bla..). Configuration is exactly the same,

I added old vCenter to new vCloud Director and i imported vm using "Import from vSphere" option.

But, is this best way or is there another way to migrate this ? Just i wanted to learn what is best way to migrate existing vApp to new vCloud Director.

* You can think that both environment isolated. There is only 1 Gbit network communication in same datacenter.

1. Utilize the adopt a vCenter/VM function that's been around since 8.20 days. Works great and you can drag/drop into the oVDC RP assuming networking is in place. https://www.paluszek.com/wp/2018/10/23/migrate-vms-and-networking-to-vcloud-director-video-walkthrou...

2. Utilize vCloud Availability for Cloud-to-Cloud or 3.0 (when it's GA here shortly). Provides self-service migration, but does require some minimal downtime (power off and power on). Can be done via the tenant or provider.
