Assessing Migration Risks

You can assess what migration risks are before performing a migration. With the assessment results, you can know whether your source servers are compatible with the target cloud in terms of OS, firmware, and specifications.

Only servers can be assessed for migration risks.

Prerequisites

You have added source server information to MgC manually or through an Internet- or intranet- based discovery task.

Procedure

Log in to the MgC console.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Design > Migration Solutions. Select a migration project in the upper left corner of the page.
Click View Evaluation List in the Migration Tool Evaluation box.
On the Server tab page, you can view the list of all source servers.
- To assess all servers in the Pending assessment state, click Batch Assessment. In the dialog box that is displayed, click OK.
- To assess certain servers, search for them by name, IP address, platform, and associated application, and select them. Click Batch assessment. In the displayed dialog box, confirm the number of servers to be assessment and click OK.
In the assessment list, view the assessment status and the number of migration risks at each level. Click the server name or a number in the row. On the Migration Risks tab page displayed on the right, view all check items, server information required for each item, and risk levels.
Rectify the migration risks on a server based on the suggestions provided by the system. Then click Assess in the Operation column to assess the server again.
