Hi,
In this Blog post i will describe some more about the Fling Horizon Daas Migration Tool https://labs.vmware.com/flings/horizon-daas-migration-tool
From the Fling website it’s clear what this does
Horizon DaaS Migration Tool helps migrating from earlier versions of Horizon DaaS (6.1.5, 6.1.6, 7.0.0) to the latest supported version (8.0.0). The tool can be used to move persistent desktop mappings from existing tenants to a newly provisioned tenant on 8.0.0.
The migration is not an in-place migration and does require a parallel setup of VMware Horizon DaaS 8.0.0 to be available. The tool is a command line tool that must be run from a separate Ubuntu virtual machine.
How does this work?
You need a Ubuntu Server , and install the Fling on it. The documentation from the website describes this.
How to export the source tenant configuration?
Login to your Ubuntu VM. Go to /vmware/daas/migration/bin . and run python export.py -v
Example output:
root@daas-migratie:/vmware/daas/migration/bin# python export.py -v
You’ll be prompted to enter DaaS ServiceProvider and Tenant details now [Enter]:
