You must migrate Virtual Storage Console for VMware vSphere (VSC) hosts and backup jobs to SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere.
For SnapCenter 3.0 and later, you must migrate your VSC backups (which includes backup jobs, resource groups, and policies) to SnapCenter for data protection.
There are two paths for migrating backup jobs from VSC to the Plug-in for VMware vSphere:
If you are using VSC in conjunction with SnapCenter 2.0, you can use the migrate feature when you update SnapCenter. You can access the migrate feature in two ways:
You can update and migrate backup jobs from SnapCenter 2.x to any later version of SnapCenter.
If you are using VSC with SMVI, you can use the NetApp Import Utility for SnapCenter and Virtual Storage Console tool to migrate the backups, backup jobs, and storage connections. You can download the Import Utility from the NetApp Support Toolchest. The utility includes a ReadMe file that describes how to use it.
You can use the NetApp Import Utility for SnapCenter and Virtual Storage Console to migrate from any VSC 6.x version to SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere 3.0.1 or later.
The migration procedure installs the Plug-in for VMware vSphere and migrates VSC backup policies, backups, and backup jobs (called resource groups in SnapCenter) so they are available for use in the Plug-in for VMware vSphere GUI in vCenter.
