Key Questions About Migrating to VMware NSX-T

The End of General Support date for the latest NSX Data Center for vSphere release is set for January 16, 2022 and the End of Technical Guidance is set for January 16, 2023. Please see the VMware Lifecycle Product Matrix for details.

Customers typically use one of the three main options based on requirements: 1) Automated in-place migration on existing hosts with the NSX Migration Coordinator; 2) Co-existing NSX-V and NSX-T environments with new workloads deployed on NSX-T; and 3) Move all existing workloads to NSX-T environment deployed on new set of hardware.

Migration tools will be provided to migrate customers who are using load balancing on either NSX for vSphere or NSX-T to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer. Please refer to the Migrate to Advanced Load Balancing website for more information. It is recommended that customers migrate their load balancers deployed on NSX for vSphere directly to VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer.

To use the Migration Coordinator to migrate from NSX for vSphere to NSX-T you must run NSX-V 6.4.4 or later.

No, NSX Data Center is sold as one set of licenses that provides access to both NSX Data Center for vSphere (“NSX-V”) and NSX-T Data Center (“NSX-T”), protecting your NSX investments.

The VMware NSX-T Product Evaluation Center features technical documentation, installation demos, and classes to make your NSX-T evaluation a success. You can find additional product related information on the NSX Data Center page.

Some customers choose to introduce NSX-T alongside NSX-V. They can coexist and even connect to the same vCenter if the workloads are in different clusters. Both vRealize Automation and vRealize Network Insight support NSX-V and NSX-T co-existence. VMware Cloud Foundation supports co-existence in separate workload domains.

Beginning October 1, 2021, any customer that purchases a new VMware NSX-T Advanced Threat Prevention License may receive VMware Professional Services for NSX for vSphere to NSX-T Migration! To qualify you must purchase a minimum of three-year subscription and 32-47 CPU sockets or a one-year subscription and 48-512 CPU sockets. Please contact your VMware salesperson for additional information or custom scoping.
