Migrating the Source Server

You need to install the SMS Agent that matches the OS of the source server.

Linux Agent

  1. Install the Linux Agent.
  2. Start the Agent. After the Agent lists the enterprise projects your target account is authorized to access, select your desired enterprise project. In this example, select enterprise project Test_EPS_Project created in Creating an Enterprise Project.

  3. Log in to the SMS console. You can view enterprise project Test_EPS_Project in the migration task for your source server.

  4. Perform the procedures described in Configuring the Target Server, Starting a Full Replication, and Launching the Target Server.

    To avoid permission errors, you are advised to create an ECS (that will be used as the target server), VPC, subnet, security group, and EIP in the enterprise project Test_EPS_Project before performing the migration.

CLI-based Windows Agent (Python 2)

  1. Install the Windows Agent.
  2. Start the Agent. After the Agent lists the enterprise projects your target account is authorized to access, select your desired enterprise project. In this example, select enterprise project Test_EPS_Project created in Creating an Enterprise Project.

  3. Log in to the SMS console. You can view enterprise project Test_EPS_Project in the migration task for your source server.

  4. Perform the procedures described in Configuring the Target Server, Starting a Full Replication, and Launching the Target Server.

    To avoid permission errors, you are advised to create an ECS (that will be used as the target server), VPC, subnet, security group, and EIP in the enterprise project Test_EPS_Project before performing the migration.

GUI-based Windows Agent (Python 3)

  1. Install the Windows Agent.
  2. Start the Agent. After the Agent lists the enterprise projects your target account is authorized to access, select your desired enterprise project. In this example, select enterprise project Test_EPS_Project created in Creating an Enterprise Project.

  3. Log in to the SMS console. You can view enterprise project Test_EPS_Project in the migration task for your source server.

  4. Perform the procedures described in Configuring the Target Server, Starting a Full Replication, and Launching the Target Server.

    To avoid permission errors, you are advised to create an ECS (that will be used as the target server), VPC, subnet, security group, and EIP in the enterprise project Test_EPS_Project before performing the migration.
