Course Overview
This three-day, hands-on training course provides you with the skills, techniques, and tools required to successfully migrate your current VMware NSX® Data Center for vSphere® environment to VMware NSX-T™ Data Center. You will learn to choose between different migration approaches and how to perform the type of migration that best suits your current environment. In addition, you are presented with common migration problems and resolutions.
What you’ll learn
- NSX-T Data Center and NSX Data Center for vSphere architectures
- the networking and security features of NSX-T Data Center
- end-to-end and lift-and-shift migration approaches
- common fixed network topologies supported in end-to-end migrations
- end-to-end migrations for fixed and user-defined topologies
- other migration modes supported by the migration coordinator
- lift-and-shift migration techniques
- common problems with end-to-end and lift-and-shift migrations
- the steps to perform a cross-vCenter NSX to NSX Federation migration
Requirements
