Migration Reference Implementation
This section describes an environment that has been configured to support a V2C migration leveraging vCloud Connector. This reference implementation is meant to portray the simplest configuration possible for each set of tools to perform the migration from the vSphere environment to the vCloud Director environment (shown in the following figure).

Certain components are required to reflect a production environment. Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) through DNS resolution is one such requirement.

In this reference implementation, there are three ESXi hosts managed by a single vCenter Server that also hosts vCloud Director. We can provision Org VDCs from resource pools carved from the same vSphere cluster. The objective of the reference implementation is to make certain you understand how to provide the required connectivity for the components to work in a simple environment prior to adding many of the complexities that might be required for production.
