I originally posted this question to the vCenter forum, but haven't had any feedback on it. Our vcenter servers are currently windows based, running 6.0 update 2a. Our vRops 6.4 environment has a little over 6 months of collected metrics. I'm starting to plan out our migration to vCenter 6.5, and if possible, I'd like to migrate to the appliance.
What effect will migrating to the vcenter appliance have on my vRops installation? Will vRops recognize that the objects managed by the old vcenter have been migrated to the new vcenter appliance and continue collecting metrics for them, or will it treat them as new objects?
