Getting ready

To perform this migration, you will need access to the vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 ISO downloaded from https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. Also, because this will deploy a new appliance virtual machine, you will need to decide on the following factors:

• Placement location: This is is the vCenter inventory location where you would like to place the VCSA VM. The location could be a cluster, a resource pool or just a VM folder.
• Datastore: You will need to decide on an appropriate datastore to store the appliance.
