Migration from VMware NSX for vSphere to NSX-T
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.
Course Objectives:
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Contrast NSX-T Data Center and NSX Data Center for vSphere architectures
- Understand the networking and security features of NSX-T Data Center
- Compare end-to-end and lift-and-shift migration approaches
- Identify common fixed network topologies supported in end-to-end migrations
- Perform end-to-end migrations for fixed and user-defined topologies
- Describe other migration modes supported by the migration coordinator
- Describe lift-and-shift migration techniques
- Troubleshoot common problems with end-to-end and lift-and-shift migrations
- Describe the steps to perform a cross-vCenter NSX to NSX Federation migration
