Brownfield SDDC with VCF

Hey expert,

One of my customers which has brownfield sddc environment running on VxRail, asking me to check if there is any way to import the env to VCF - I mean deploy SDDC manager and import the env to there (Management domain and Workload domain).

Anyone has ever done something like that and could give some directions on where to look further?

Thanks in advance!

Currently it is not possible to deploy VCF and import an existing environment. VCF is only Greenfield deployments today.

The only option that you have today is to build a VCF enviroment alongside the VxRail environment and move/migrate the workloads from VxRail to VCF with VMware HCX for example.
