Hi Andrew,<br />
thank you for your help. The problem is that I have already migrate hosts and vms to new vcenter server. And I upgraded the host, so no possible to migrate them back.<br />
The proposed script does not work on old vcenter server because currently there isn't any virtual machines there. <br />
Is there any other solution for my problem

<div>
Oh, maybe search the database, if the data has not already gone.
</div>


<div>
I found the tables but it's seems that without virtual machines, data cannot be correlated.<br />
I'll give my points to andrew, because of his help on the topic

I migrated from venter 5.5 virtual machines to new fresh installed venter 6.5. I didn't export some custom attributes(annotations) of virtual machines, and now they are missing for the &nbsp;VMs in new vcenter.<br />
Is it possible to export them somehow( or find them in database sql server) and import them in new vcenter server.

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.

Virtualization

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.
