VMware Migration Assistant is used as a proxy agent so that you can gather configuration information about the vCenter components running on Microsoft Windows and run pre-upgrade checks, and it aids in the transfer of data from the Windows machine to the vCenter appliance.
The migration assistant is bundled with the vCenter Server Appliance Installer ISO.
In this recipe, you will learn how to run VMware Migration Assistant on Windows machines by running the PSC, vCenter, and Update Manager vCenter components.
