Step 2: Deploy the Migration Service

Select the appropriate specification based on your business requirements to deploy the migration service. Once deployed, you can use the migration service to migrate VMs to the target platform.

Procedure

  1. On the Migration Service page, click Install.
  2. In the Deploy Migration Service dialog, configure the following options:
    Option Description
    Migration Service Version Displays the version of the service to be installed and deployed.
    Data Center The migration service is deployed as a data gateway VM. Select a data center.
    Run Location Select where the service runs.
    CPU The default is 8 cores. Set the number of CPU cores.
    Memory The default is 8 GB. Set the memory size.
    Storage Location Specify the data storage.
    Storage Pool When the storage location is distributed storage, specify a storage pool.
    Hard Disk 1 The default is 100 GB. Set the system disk size.
    Migration Network Specify a distributed port group to use as the migration network. Ensure that the selected distributed port group has network connectivity with both the source and target platforms.
    IPv4 Address Specify an IP address.
    Note: The IP address allocation method depends on the configuration of the selected migration network:
    • When DHCP is enabled on the migration network, the system automatically assigns an IP address.
    • When DHCP is disabled on the migration network, you need to specify an IP address.
    • When IPAM is enabled on the migration network, manually specified IP address must be within the selected network segment.
  3. Review the configuration and click OK.
