Migration of Cluster Settings (pools, rules etc) from 2.5 to 4.0 without migration of the Database?

[Hotte]

Hi all,

i would do a fresh install of a vCenter 4.0 in a vCenter 2.5 (ESX 3.5) enviroment. Is there a way to export/import or migration of the Cluster Settings (Ressource Pools, DRS Rules and so on)?

Thanks

Christian

Why you don't want just to upgrade existing installation?

So, is there an inofficial way?
