Vcenter Lcm Deployment MigrationUpgrade RenameVmPolicy

The Vcenter Lcm Deployment MigrationUpgrade RenameVmPolicy schema instructs the upgrade to preserve the original vCenter VM name on successful upgrade and allows changing the old vCenter VM name. The upgrade needs access to the container managing the old vCenter VM - either provide Vcenter Lcm Deployment Common ApplianceDeploymentConfig.source_container or ensure that the environment is self managed. Otherwise, the upgrade process validation will fail if this option is used.

This schema was added in vSphere API 9.0.0.0.

JSON Example

{
    "preserve_original_vm_name": false,
    "old_vcenter_name": "string"
}

boolean

preserve_original_vm_name

Required

Instructs the upgrade to preserve the old vCenter VM name on the new vCenter. In the process the old vCenter VM name will also be changed. Use oldVcenterName if you want to set it to a non-default name.

This property was added in vSphere API 9.0.0.0.

string

old_vcenter_name

Optional

Allows changing the old vCenter VM name post upgrade. When the old VC VM name is preserved on new VC, the original VM itself needs to be renamed to avoid name collision with the new version.

This property was added in vSphere API 9.0.0.0.

If missing or null and preserveOriginalVmName is set to False the name of the original vCenter will be left as is. If missing or null and preserveOriginalVmName is set to True the name will be changed to the old name appended with -old-.
