5.1.3.1. Migration Process
To move a vApp from vCloud A to vCloud B with the vCloud Connector:
1. Export the virtual machines in the vApp from vCloud A to an OVF.
Stage them on the vCloud Connector appliance with the vCloud API. The data is transferred to the vCloud Connector appliance over HTTPS.
2. Use the HTTPS upload command to upload the staged OVF to vCloud B.
3. Import the OVF into vCloud B’s catalog or directly to an organization datacenter.
The migration process can be carried out manually with the upload and download capabilities of the vCloud Director user interface or by programming the vCloud API. vCloud Connector simplifies vApp migrations, but is not required.
