The new vCenter (in form of an appliance) takes over the identity and form of the old vCenter.

The data of the original vCenter gets migrated to the new vCSA.

The original vCenter runs in parallel with the temporary (empty vCenter).

Stage 2: Migration / Upgrade: Transfer of Data

a new empty vCenter Server Appliance gets created and connected with temporary data (IP/DNS/Subnet) to a network.
