(Optional) Cloning a Target Server

Scenarios

Before launching a target server, you can clone the target server for service testing, and only launch the target server after tests confirm there are no issues.

The cloned server must be in the same AZ as the target server, but can be in a different VPC.

Prerequisites

The migration task is in the Continuous sync stage.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the SMS console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Servers.
  3. Locate the target server you want to clone, choose More > Manage Target > Clone Target in the Operation column.
  4. Set the parameters and click Clone Target.

    • If you select Recommended for Server Template, the system automatically sets VPC, Subnet, Security Group, and parameters in Advanced Settings based on the current target server configuration. You can modify these parameters.
    • If you select an existing template for Server Template, parameters VPC, Subnet, Security Group, and those in Advanced Settings are determined by the template. You can modify these parameters.
