In case of haveing trouble like my errors, you get your next try a lot faster. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>When it came up with your configured IP (it takes it&#8217;s time &#8230;), you can also run the migration wizzard when you enter the https:\/\/[yourIP]:5480<\/p>\n<p>But have a look at your vCenter DB Size when deploying the new VCSA.
