Whitelist Settings

The EIP of the DRS replication instance must be on the whitelist of the source database for the connectivity between the DRS replication instance and the source database. To obtain the EIP of the DRS replication instance, see 3 in Creating a DRS Migration Task. This method of configuring a whitelist varies depending on the cloud database vendors. For details, see their official documents.
