Migration Test from vCenter 5.5 to VCSA 6.5

[BlackACE]

Hello,

before upgrade a big vSphere Enviroment ... we make a Test Migration with unhappy

1. Clone productive vCenter 5.5 Build 218311
2. Disable Network from vCenter Clone
3. Start the vCenter Clone, change IP/Name/ODBC etc.
4. Connect Network from vCenter Clone and restart VM = vCenter Clone
5. vCenter Services starts
6. now the BIG Problem ... the Clone vCenter (other Name/IP/change ODBC Connect) CONNECT AUTOMATIC all ESXi-Hosts from productive vCenter

Why is that ... i need for the Migration Test the vCenter "Copy" with Inventory from production vCenter (disconnect State)

Thx for help !!

Are you doing testing in same network ( production and test  are in same network Subnet)...?

Yes i test in the same Network, when i start the "Clone-vCenter" without Network Connect or other Segment ...the vCenter Service not start

you are not suppose to start you test vcenter in same network because you have same database information for with both vcenter . because of that  all esxi host get connect in your test v-center.
