Stage 2: vCenter Server
Click Next
Fill in all information of the source vCenter Server. Click Next.
Pre-upgrade checks are in progress
I already checked all the relevant matrices for my environment, so I could safely ignore these.
I wanted to migrate all vCenter information, so I selected as per above. Click Next.
Review the options, place a check in the check box. The backup was done at time of snapshot. Click Finish to complete the migration.
Accept the warning. Click OK
Time for another coffee. Again, will be about 10-20 minutes for this process to complete.
The deployment is will be complete after this.

This was a fantastic series! Thank you for the detail and full context of the steps for a project of this sort.
One thing I ran into is when the stage 1 deployment created the new VCSA VM. It was unable to set some VM property, but had no idea which one. It went through and completed Stage 1 but it failed moving to Stage 2 because the migration couldn’t contact the new VCSA. The issue was that the vNIC was not set as connected.
What was nice is that the migration application gave me the appliance link where I could manually kick off the Stage 2 portion of the migration. It worked without issue and was a mirror of what the migration would have presented. In fact, it worked a lot faster through the browser.
