VCSA Performance Data Export

[Virtualred99]

Hi all

Has anyone exported performance data & history from VCSA appliance with embedded DB to another ?

Just upgraded appliance from 6.5 through to 6.7u1 but forgot to check box to copy historical performance and statistical data in the background.

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks

If you didn't check the box to export the SEAT data, you can't do it after the fact. Sorry. A database export/import will not work.

Thanks for the response much appreciated!

I somewhat hoped that the option in VCSA file level Backup i did (prior to upgrade) to include stats, events and tasks may have helped me out and i could import that after.

Are any options you know of around viewing the old performance data on the original VCSA ?

I don't know of any other options. Performance data on a vCenter is basically there as a helping hand, not as historical reference. There are tools such as vROps that should be used for that.

Yep point taken, thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.
