Script to migrate vCenter to a new server

[No_Way]

Hi All,

I know that there is a powershell script in VMware site(DOC) to migrate permission, Cluster, Hosts, Pools, etc., to a new vCenter. But now I cannot find it. Has been removed?

Anyone have the url of this script?

Thank You

Hey No_way,

The only tool that comes to mind is the Data Migration Tool. If this what you were looking for?

Hi

Thank you for the reply.

No is not. This tools only to migrate to a new server(same IP and same name etc.).

I have a vCenter with DB, now the plan is to migrate the DB to a DB server and also created a new vCenter that only uses vCenter services.

So I need to import all the stuff from the old vCenter to export to the new vCenter.

What I am talking about is a powershell script. VMware in one support ticket send me the link, but now I cannot find it. Was not an "official" script but was in the communities Powershell script from VMware(as a DOC).

The guy from support said that they use it internally.

Some of the scripts that I found over the Internet, doesn't do 100% of the work.

Thank You
