Purchasing Resources

After the specifications of target resources are configured, you can directly purchase these target resources in batches using a shopping list on MgC. Currently, only servers can be purchased using a shopping list. A shopping list makes it easier to use the repurchase migration strategy by allowing you to buy wanted target resources in batches. If you want to use the rehost strategy, you can create server migration workflows which automate the entire purchase process. Target servers purchased using a shopping list will be associated with the paired source servers automatically, and you can migrate the source servers using migration workflows as a part of your rehost strategy.

Prerequisites

Target configurations have been acquired for source resources. For details, see Getting Target Configurations.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the MgC console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Design > Migration Solutions.
  3. Click View Resources in the Target Configuration card.
  4. On the Server tab page in the Target Configurations area, locate a server whose Assessment Status is Successful, and click Add to Shopping List in the Purchase Status column.
  5. Click View in the Shopping List card on the top of the page.
  6. In the Process Flow area, click View Templates. In the My Templates window that is displayed on the right, click Create Template.
