Methods and systems for migrating one software-defined networking module (SDN) to another SDN module in a virtual data center

Abstract:

A system and method of migrating a first module to a second module in a data center are disclosed. In certain aspects, a method includes instantiating a migration of the first module to the second module, wherein the first module operating with a configuration in a data center. The method also includes retrieving results of a compatibility check performed by a migration coordinator to determine potential incompatibilities between the configuration of the first module and the second module, the results including a first set of incompatibilities to be resolved. The method further includes requesting user input relating to the first set of incompatibilities. The method also includes periodically determining whether user input relating to the first set of incompatibilities has been received until a time threshold is reached.
