I would assume you'd build a 3rd V-Center and migrate both to that, there is a full guide<br />

I've done one Windows VCenter to one VCSA but not both to single VCSA.

OK, so if I use VCSA 6.0U2<b>m</b> then migrate each Windows VCenter to each VCSA, then can I perform linked mode ?<br />
What's the risk in linked mode for Production VCenter server ?

Is that even possible to linked Vcenter the two VCSA after conversion ?

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I've got 2x Windows VCenter 5.1 &amp;&nbsp;5.5 server running SQL Express edition that I'd like to combine into single VCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) v6.0U2m.<br />
<br />
So how is that possible without losing its statistics, vSwitch settings and data ?

Combining 2x Windows VCenter to 1x VCSA ?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
