Launching a Target Server

This section describes how to manually launch the target server after the full replication is complete if you set Continuous Synchronization to Yes when configuring the migration settings.

If you set Continuous Synchronization to No, skip this section because the system will automatically launch the target server after the full replication is complete.

Scenarios

You can launch a target server for a migration in the Continuous sync status, and the continuous synchronization will be interrupted. If continuous synchronization is required after you launch the target server, click Sync to continuously synchronize incremental data.

Before launching the target server, you can clone the target server for service testing, and only launch the target server until tests confirm there are no issues.

The cloned server must be in the same AZ as the target server, but can be in a different VPC.

Procedure

Log in to the management console.
Click Service List. Under Migration, click Server Migration Service.
In the navigation pane on the left, click Servers.
Locate the target server you want to launch, and click Launch Target in the Operation column.

Alternatively, select the server you want to launch, and click Launch Target above the server list.
In the displayed Launch Target dialog box, click OK.
Check whether the Status has changed to Finished. If it has, the target server has been launched and the migration is complete.
