Manually Adding Servers to MgC

Prerequisites

• You have installed Edge in the source intranet environment and have connected the Edge device to MgC.
• You have added source server credentials to Edge. The server credentials must meet the following requirements:
  • Linux: root and its password
  • Windows: administrator and its password

Procedure

1. Sign in to the MgC console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Research > Application Discovery. Select the created 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, under Servers, click Add.

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 collecting the server details.
