Hello!

I need to migrate VMs between two on-premises sites. Both source and destination does not have NSX installed. I wanted to use HCX to migrate without powering off the vms (one enviroment is 7.X and the other is 8.X).

Is NSX really required at the destination site?

Thanks!

Hello. NSX is mandatory at the cloud side even if you are not extending networks. Please refer to the user guide and release notes.
