VMware HCX Hybrid Interconnect & Migration Walkthrough

Steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Inspect vCenter & AVS Interconnect Topology

   Review vsphere.tf and avs-interconnect.tf. The configuration defines on-premises vSphere datacenter clusters, compute resource pools, and ExpressRoute / private cloud interconnect attachments.

   cat vsphere.tf
   cat avs-interconnect.tf
   

2. 2

   Step 2: Review HCX L2 Network Extension & Stretched VLANs

   Inspect hcx-service-mesh.tf and network-extension.tf to examine HCX interconnect service mesh appliances, WAN optimization profiles, and stretched L2 broadcast domains.

   cat hcx-service-mesh.tf
   cat network-extension.tf
   

3. 3

   Step 3: Validate Hybrid VMware Terraform Configuration

   Run terraform init -backend=false and terraform validate to verify the multi-provider vSphere and AzureRM hybrid landing zone HCL declarations offline.

   terraform init -backend=false
   terraform validate
   

   Checked by the agent (terraform-validate): The runner checks that all vSphere datacenter, cluster, and Azure VMware Solution peering blocks validate cleanly.
