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

Adding a Server

  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. Click the Resources tab, click Server in the Category column or the number in the Total Resources column.
  4. Click Add.
  5. 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.
