Requirements for migration VMware to OpenShift VE
Hello,
Have I understood/interpreted the documentation correctly that, in order to use the built-in VMware to OCP VE migration tooling, one would need to:
- first download the VMware-vix-disklib from the Broadcom website
- this needs to be uploaded to a thing called "the registry" in OpenShift
- this "registry" is an S3 object based repository?
- this "registry" does not exist out of the box on a bare metal cluster?
- Out of the box, when using a bare metal 4.22 OCP VE cluster against regular (supported) external block or NFS storage using it's CSI, there is no S3 storage and hence, no registry?
- In such an environment, due to the lack of S3 and thus that repository, there is no way to use the built in VMware to OpenShift VE migration tooling?
Above is my conclusion, based on what i've found. But I might have missed something, allowing the use of the built-in VMware to OCP VE via another way?
Kind regards,
Steve
