Why each option
When migrating a Windows vCenter Server to the vCenter Server Appliance 6.5, local OS users on the source Windows system are not transferred to the appliance.
The vCenter Server Appliance migration process copies vCenter-specific data such as inventory, configuration, and certificates, but it does not migrate local Windows OS users because the appliance runs on Photon OS and has no equivalent local OS user store. Administrators must manually recreate any required local accounts in the appliance environment after migration.
Migration deployments require a static IP address on the source vCenter Server; DHCP is not supported because the migration tool relies on a stable, consistent address throughout the process.
The source vCenter Server must be shut down as part of the migration process; leaving it powered on would cause identity and data conflicts with the new appliance.
Migration deployments do not support custom ports for all services; only default port configurations are fully supported, and custom ports can cause migration failures.
