To propagate the privileges to all objects in the vCenter Server instance, select the Propagate to children checkbox. You can scope the vCenter Server account to limit discovery to specific vCenter Server datacenters, clusters, hosts, folders of clusters or hosts, or individual servers. Learn how to scope the vCenter Server user account. An Azure Migrate Appliance should be deployed for each vCenter environment you wish to discover.
Your user account on your servers must have the required permissions to initiate discovery of installed applications, agentless dependency analysis, and discovery of web apps, and SQL Server instances and databases.
You can provide the user account information in the appliance configuration manager. The appliance doesn't install agents on the servers. You can add multiple server credentials in the Azure Migrate appliance configuration manager to initiate discovery of installed applications, agentless dependency analysis, and discovery of web apps, and SQL Server instances and databases.
Learn how to add server credentials. In the Azure portal, select All services , and then search for Azure Migrate. In Overview , select one of the following options, depending on your migration goals: Servers, databases and web apps , SQL Server only , or Explore more scenarios.
In Create project , select your Azure subscription and resource group. Create a resource group if you don't have one. In Project Details , specify the project name and the geography where you want to create the project. Review supported geographies for public clouds and supported geographies for government clouds.
Wait a few minutes for the project to deploy. The Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool is added by default to the new project. If you've already created a project, you can use that project to register more appliances to discover and to assess more servers. Learn how to manage projects. The appliance completes server discovery and sends server configuration and performance metadata to Azure Migrate.
Set up the appliance by deploying an OVA template that can be downloaded from the project. If you can't set up the appliance by using the OVA template, you can set it up by running a PowerShell script on an existing server running Windows Server Learn how to use PowerShell to set up an Azure Migrate appliance.
Learn more on how to deploy an appliance for Azure Government cloud. To set up the appliance by using an OVA template, you'll complete these steps, which are described in more detail in this section:. On the server on which you downloaded the file, open a Command Prompt window by using the Run as administrator option. Make sure that the appliance server can connect to Azure URLs for public clouds and government clouds. If you set up the appliance by using a PowerShell script instead of a downloaded OVA template, you can skip the first two steps.
Open a browser on any computer that can connect to the appliance. Or, you can open the configuration manager from the appliance server desktop by selecting the shortcut for the configuration manager. In the configuration manager, select Set up prerequisites , and then complete these steps:.
Connectivity : The appliance checks that the server has internet access. If the server uses a proxy:. If you have added proxy details or disabled the proxy or authentication, select Save to trigger connectivity and check connectivity again.
Time sync : Check that the time on the appliance is in sync with internet time for discovery to work properly. Install updates : The appliance ensures that the latest updates are installed. When the check is finished, you can select View appliance services to see the status and versions of the services running on the appliance server. Extract the downloaded zip file contents to the specified location on the appliance, as indicated in the Installation instructions.
You can rerun prerequisites at any time during appliance configuration to check whether the appliance meets all the prerequisites:. Paste the project key that you copied from the portal. Select the appliance name you provided when you generated the project key, and then copy the key that's shown. You must have a device code to authenticate with Azure.
Select Login. Make sure you've disabled the pop-up blocker in the browser to see the prompt. In a new tab in your browser, paste the device code and sign in by using your Azure username and password. Signing in with a PIN isn't supported. After you successfully log in, return to the browser tab that displays the appliance configuration manager.
If the Azure user account that you used to log in has the required permissions for the Azure resources that were created during key generation, appliance registration starts. After the appliance is successfully registered, to see the registration details, select View details. Complete the setup steps in the appliance configuration manager to prepare for and start discovery.
The appliance must connect to vCenter Server to discover the configuration and performance data of the servers:. In Step 1: Provide vCenter Server credentials , select Add credentials to enter a name for the credentials. Add the username and password for the vCenter Server account that the appliance will use to discover servers running on vCenter Server.
I have done migrations like this in the past and I will tell you , once you are 2 hours in , you get to the point where you don't want to stop it and try something else for fear that it will not finish with the new method either and you have lost 2 hours Ensuring that you are transferring on your fastest network adapters will make this experience much better, it is still going to take some time, but I would hope faster than 39 hours.
Maybe a volume added later to expand storage? I would assume you have at least essentials licensing, with both volumes setup as shared storage, a datastore on each and both datastores available to each host. You're right, Essentials and Essentials Plus can migrate between hosts live with shared storage, but you can't live migrate files between datastores without VMware Standard licensing or higher. Am I right so far? So yes, definitely need to shut down the VM to move, but it's not as simple as unregistering from one host and registering on another since the datastore needs changed.
This would also be pointless since a regular live migration could be done since the datastore wouldn't change. So, 2TB of data over 10Gb links? How is your storage network looking? MPIO configured to both 10Gb links, or just failover redundancy?
I would estimate around a half an hour best case scenario, assuming your arrays can saturate a 10Gb link they sometimes can't depending on what type of storage and number of spindles. I would plan for 60 minutes, to be safe. Could be even faster if MPIO is being used, which could potentially exceeding 10Gbps, raid array performance allowing.
I had mis-read I thought OP meant vMotion between 2 hosts Then does your storage have any cloning facilities? Else maybe perform a clone of the powered off VM. Hey, guys, thanks for the replies, and my apologies for the lack of details. Next, from the VMware vCenter list, select the vCenter server s for which the migration report is to be generated. By default, all the managed vCenter servers in your environment will be listed here. This is because, the default selection from the Analy ze b y list is Component.
For this, select the Zone , Service , or Segment , option from the Analy ze b y field:. Then, specify the Timeline for the graph. You can either provide a fixed time line such as 1 hour, 2 days, etc. By default, 1 day will be selected from the Timeline list box.
For every user registered with the eG Enterprise system, the administrator can indicate the maximum timeline for which that user can generate a report. Once the maximum timeline is set for a user, then, whenever that user logs into eG Reporter and attempts to generate a report, the Timeline list box in the report page will display options according to the maximum timeline setting of that user. For instance, if a user can generate a report for a maximum period of 3 days only, then 3 days will be the highest option displayed in the Timeline list - i.
If not, report generation will fail. For instance, for a user who is allowed to generate reports spanning over a maximum period of 3 days only, the difference between the From and To dates should never be over 3 days. If it is, then, upon clicking the Run Report button a message box will appear, prompting the user to change the From and To specification.
In addition to the settings discussed above, this report comes with a set of default specifications. These settings are hidden by default. However, if you want to view and then alter these settings if required , click on the icon. The steps below discuss each of these settings and how they can be customized. Figure 2 : The default settings for generating the VMotion report. If the timeline specified for the report needs to exclude the data collected during the Weekends, then set Exclude weekends to Yes.
If not, select No. By default, the weekend constitutes Saturday and Sunday. To override this default setting, do the following:. Similarly, you can configure the report to provide the summary of migrations of a particular type, by selecting one of the following types from the Migration Type list:.
By default however, this report provides migration summaries for all types of migrations; accordingly, the All option is chosen by default from the Migration Type list. By default, every VMotion Summary report be it Graph or Data generated using this page includes a VMotion Migration Summary Details section that provides an environment-wide overview of the migration activity during the specified Timeline.
By choosing an option from the Summary list box, you can indicate what additional summaries the report should include:. By default, this report only provides an environment-wide migration summary displaying the total number of migrations that have occurred across all the chosen vCenter servers during the designated period, and the type-wise break-up of migrations. Accordingly, the Show Details flag is set to No by default.
If this flag is set to Yes instead, then additional sections will be displayed according to the option chosen from the Summary list. By default, this report provides all the filter options discussed in step 11 to step 20 above, so that you an customize the summary report to suit your needs. If need be, you can hide the filter options and thus make sure that the report displays a summary of all the migrations that occurred in the environment during the specified Timeline.
To achieve this, do the following:. Once this is done, all the filter options starting from the Virtual Machine list box to the Summary list box will no longer appear in the report page. This implies that after specifying the report Timeline , you will have to switch to step 20 of this procedure to proceed with the report generation. In large environments, reports generated using months of data can take a long time to complete.
Administrators now have the option of generating reports on-line or in the background. When a report is scheduled for background generation, administrators can proceed with their other monitoring, diagnosis, and reporting tasks, while the eG manager is processing the report.
This saves the administrator valuable time. In this case, a Report Name text box will appear, where you would have to provide the name with which the report is to be saved in the background. The total migrations, the number of migrations per type, and the number of failed migrations are available here. Clicking on the Total migrations value in the Virtual Machines Migrations Summary table leads you to the vmotion details report that provides complete details of all the migrations that occurred in the environment during the specified Timeline.
Similarly, you can click on the number of drs migrations , Hot migrations , Manual migrations , or Failed migrations in the table to view the details of migrations of that type. Figure 4 : A VMotions Details report that provides details of all migrations that occurred in the specified Timeline.
To view the complete details of the migrations of a particular type on a specific day, click on the corresponding division in the bar chart of Figure 4. This will invoke Figure 5 , where you can view more details about that migration type. Figure 5 : The VMotion Details report that appears upon clicking a division in the bar chart.
From this information, you can easily isolate resource-intensive VMs, and also instantly spot failed migration attempts. From this information, you can easily isolate hosts that are experiencing a contention for resources.
Besides detecting failed migration attempts, this information enables you to identify ESX hosts that are healthy. Besides detecting failed migration attempts, this information enables you to identify unhealthy clusters.
