Preparations
- Create a project on the MgC console.
- Install the MgC Agent in the source intranet environment and connect the MgC Agent to MgC.
- Add resource credentials to the MgC Agent.
Adding a Server
- Sign in to the MgC console. In the navigation pane, under Project, select an application migration project from the drop-down list.
- In the navigation pane, choose Discover > Source Resources.
