(Optional) Creating Target Servers

When specifying the target server, you can use an existing server or create a new one. This section describes how to create one in advance for immediate use. You can also skip this section and create it later during configuration.

Buying a Target ECS

Buy a target server whose flavor meets your migration requirements. Then, configure its Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), security group, and EIP. For details, see Purchasing and Using a Linux ECS.

The target ECS must meet the following requirements:

  • It has compute specifications no less than those of the source server.
  • It has at least as many disks as the source server, each no smaller than the corresponding source disk.
  • Its image type is the same as the OS type of the source server.
  • Its security group permits inbound traffic on port 22 from the source server's IP.
  • It is associated with an EIP.
