Manually Adding Resources
You can only add servers to MgC manually. To perform a deeper discovery on these added resources, you need to install Edge in the source environment.
Prerequisites
- You have installed Edge in the source intranet environment and have connected the Edge device with MgC.
- You have added source server credentials to the Edge device.
Adding a Server
- Log in to the MgC console.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Research > Application Discovery. Select a migration project in the upper left corner of the page.
- Click the Resources tab, click Server in the Category column or the number in the Total Resources column.
- Click Add.
- In the displayed dialog box, configure parameters listed in Table 1 and click Confirm. The system automatically checks the credential status and starts collecting resource details.
