This migration is currently only for a GEN7 Firewall following an upgrade to SonicOS 7.0.1-5080 or later firmware. During the migration, any previously established "SGMS-Server" VPN Tunnel would still exist, but, will become disabled. Reporting will work as usual for NSM Advanced, but the flows will be transported through an encrypted pathway (TCP/UDP based connection).
Steps to complete migration:
1) Verify current firmware displayed in NSM for the firewall in question.

2) If necessary, complete the firmware upgrade to 7.0.1-5080 or newer and verify that the new version is displayed in NSM. If necessary use the Synchronize Firewall action.

3) Once you confirm that the new firmware version is synchronized and displayed in NSM, use the Reconfigure Reporting & Analytics action:

4) The Reconfigure R&A action will trigger new Commits that, once successful, will finish the migration to the new Encrypted Path (TCP/UDP based) connection. The status of these Commits can be confirmed on the Config Management>Commits page.

5) If all steps are completed successfully, you can verify the new reporting method on the Firewalls>Inventory page, under the Analytics & Reporting Status of the unit:
