Viewing the Real-Time Migration Status

When a server migration workflow reaches the StartMigration or StartSynchronization step, you can click a server record, and in the displayed dialog box, click the task name after Migration Task to go to the SMS console, as shown in Figure 3. On the SMS console, you view the source server details, target server configuration, and migration status, as shown in Figure 4.

Retaining Migration Tasks on SMS

To retain the migration tasks created by MgC on SMS after a server migration workflow is complete, manually add a checkpoint before the step for clearing migration tasks in the workflow, as shown in Figure 5. For details about how to add checkpoints in a workflow and what are the precautions, see Adding a Stage or Step.

Figure 5 Adding a checkpoint
When the workflow reaches the checkpoint step for a server, do not conform it, as shown in Figure 6. In this case, the migration task on the SMS console will not be deleted and its status is Completed, as shown in Figure 7. If you confirm the step, the task will be deleted from the SMS console.
