Migration Service
What is Migration Service?
The Cloud provides V2V migration service that allows you to migrate VM instances and data from other virtualized platform to the current cloud platform. ZStack Cloud supports hot migration of VM instances between server hosts with no loss of service and hot migration of virtual disks between storages with no loss of service.
You can use V2V Migration to:
- Migrate VM instances from vCenters that are took over by the Cloud. The supported versions of the source vCenter platform include 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 6.7, and 7.0. Note that the version of vCenter Server must be consistent with that of ESXi hosts.
- Migrate VM instances from a KVM cloud platform to the Cloud.
Characteristics
- You can migrate VM instances in bulk from a cloud platform to the Cloud with one click.
- You only need to add a conversion host and create a V2V job. The Cloud will do the migration for you.
- You can configure an independent migration network and a network QoS for a conversion host to manage transmission obstacles and improve migration efficiencies.
- You can customize configuration settings for destination VM instances when you create a V2V job.
- You can monitor and manage the entire migration process on the UI.
Considerations
The Migration Service feature is provided in a separate module. Before you can use this feature, you need to purchase the Plus License of Migration Service, in addition to the Base License.
