Migrating vCenter 6.5 on windows to appliance
-
Does anyone have documented process how to perform such migration (6.5 -> 6.5)? Migration tool included with appliance will not migrate vCenter 6.5 to VCSA 6.5, it can only do earlier versions to 6.5. Has anyone actually done such migration? Or am I sol and have to wait for 7 to come out?

Looks like you're correct.

I thought I had read that you could move from 6.5 -> 6.5.

Yep, there's no horizontal migration option at the moment. But, you can see this is being worked on by a hackathon team at VMworld this year - https://blogs.vmware.com/code/2017/08/09/vmworld-hackathon-check-team-leads/.

If your vCenter config is not terribly complicated, you could just deploy a new appliance. But I can certainly see how that would not be too fun.

I guess I just have to wait and see.
