Manually Adding Servers to MgC

This method is for discovering on-premises servers and cloud servers that cannot be discovered over the Internet or an intranet.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log in to the MgC console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Research > Application Discovery. Select a migration project in the upper left corner of the page.
  3. If you are adding a server to MgC for the first time, choose Add > Server in the Edge Discovery pane.

    If you have added servers to MgC before, on the Resources page, click Add on the Servers tab page.

  4. In the displayed dialog box, configure parameters listed in Table 1 and click Confirm. MgC checks whether the server can be accessed using the specified credential and starting discovering the server details.
