- If your source server cannot access Huawei Cloud over the Internet, a proxy server can help you. You need to configure a proxy server by yourself.
- The proxy is used for registering the source server with SMS when a Direct Connect or VPN connection is used. It is not used for data migration.
- (Optional) Configure the HTTP/HTTPS proxy for the Agent.
- Go to the config directory.
cd SMS-Agent/agent/config
- Open and edit the auth.cfg file. Do not edit the auth.cfg file unless you need to use an HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
vi auth.cfg
The values shown here are for reference only.
[proxy-config] enable = true proxy_addr = https://your-proxy-addr.com proxy_port = 3128 proxy_user = root use_password = true
- enable: To use a proxy, set it to true.
- proxy_addr: Replace your-proxy-addr with the IP address of the proxy server, not that of the target server. Use the protocol configured for the proxy. HTTPS is recommended.
- proxy_user: Enter the username required for the proxy. If no username is required, leave it blank.
- use_password: If a password is required for the proxy, set it to true. If no password is required, set it to false.

If the EPS service has been enabled for the Huawei Cloud account, after you entered the AK/SK pair, the Agent will list all enterprise projects the account is allowed to access. You can select the enterprise you would like to migrate the source server to. This enables you to isolate permissions, resources, and finance during the migration. For details, see Migrating Servers into an Enterprise Project.
When the following information is displayed, the Agent has been started up and will start reporting source server information to SMS. You can go to the Servers page on the SMS console to view the record of the source server.Figure 4 Agent running
