Create a Migration Task

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, select Operations Management > Migration Task > All Tasks.
2. On the All Tasks page, click Create Migration Task.
3. In the Create Migration Task dialog, configure the source platform:

   Option	Description
   Source Platform	Select the source platform.
   Source VM	Add the source VM that you want to migrate. Note: The disk capacity of the source VM cannot exceed the limit defined by the license type. Additional capacity requires a separate license. Trial License: Disk capacity limit is 1 TB. Production License: Disk capacity limit is 5 TB.
   Migration Authorization Type	Select the license type.

4. Click Next.
5. Configure the target platform.
   1. Complete the VM configuration:

      Option	Description
      Data Center	Select the data center where the VM will reside after migration.
      Cluster	Select the cluster where the VM will reside after migration.
      Host	Select the host where the VM will reside after migration.
      Storage Location	Select the data storage that the VM will use after migration.
      Bus Type	Select the bus type for the VM disk device.
      CPU Mode	Select the CPU mode for the VM after migration.
      Destination Network Port Group	Select the distributed port group that the VM will use.
      Temporary Network Port Group	When you select Clone Network Configuration, you must configure a temporary network port group. A DHCP-enabled port group is recommended. By default, the target network port group is used. If the target port group does not have DHCP enabled, you must manually assign a temporary IP address.
      Security Group	Select a security group.

      When you configure Destination Network Port Group, use the following options:

      Option	Description
      CIDR	Select the CIDR.
      Network Adapter Configuration	Select whether to clone the source VM's network configuration and MAC address. Clone Network Configuration: After cloning, the target VM retains the same IP address as the source VM by default. Enter the netmask and gateway manually. Clone MAC Address: The target VM retains the same MAC address as the source VM. Note: When you select Clone Network Configuration, the platform assigns a temporary IP address to the VM based on network properties to ensure data synchronization. You can also manually specify an IP address on the VM configuration confirmation page. When you select Clone Network Configuration, power off the source VM before the formal cutover to avoid IP address conflicts.
      Destination IP Address	Specify the destination IP address for the VM.

   2. Complete the cutover configuration by referring to the following example:

      Option	Description
      Immediate Cutover	When enabled, the system automatically performs cutover after the initial data synchronization is complete.
      Create Rollback Snapshot	When enabled, the system creates a rollback snapshot for the target VM when cutover starts. Purpose of the rollback snapshot: When enabled: If you select "Delete cutover program only" when deleting the migration task, the system automatically rolls back the target VM or disk to the snapshot state. When disabled: The "Delete cutover program only" option will not be available when deleting the migration task.
      Auto Shut Down Source VM	When enabled, the system shuts down the source VM before cutover.
      Auto Install VMTools	When enabled, the system automatically installs VMTools after the target VM operating system is converted.

6. Click Next.
7. Review the configuration and click OK.
