Adding Resources to an Application

You can manually add source servers and Oracle databases to an application. To gather details about these resources, you need to install the MgC Agent (formerly Edge) in the source environment.

Preparations

Adding a Server

  1. Sign in to the MgC console. In the navigation pane, under Project, choose a project from the drop-down list.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Resource List.
  3. In the application list, click an application name.
  4. On the Servers tab, click Add above the list.
  5. In the displayed dialog box, configure parameters based on Table 1 and click Confirm. The system automatically checks the credential status and starts collecting resource details.

    Table 1 Parameters for adding a server

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    User-defined

    MgC Agent

    Select the MgC Agent installed in the source environment.

    Type

    Select the OS type of the source server.

    Access IP Address

    Enter the IP address of the source server.

    If the source server is in the same VPC as the MgC Agent, you can enter the private IP address of the server. Otherwise, you have to enter its public IP address.

    Port

    Enter the port on the source server that allows access from the MgC Agent.

    • The port defaults to 5985 on Windows and can be modified.
    • The port defaults to 22 on Linux and can be modified.

    Credential

    Select the server credential. If the credential is not displayed in the list, go to the MgC Agent console, add the server credential, and synchronize it to MgC.

    Whether to check migration items

    Decide whether to select the checkbox I authorize MgC to collect and save the raw data for later analysis. Selecting it helps identify risks beforehand.

    • Deselected: MgC only performs deep collection.
    • Selected: MgC performs deep collection and identifies dependency risks. Click a server name to check the analysis result on the resource details page.

  6. After the server is added, view it in the list. When Collected shows up in the Deep Collection column and you have authorized MgC to gather raw migration command results, click the server name and view the command execution results on the Migration Commands tab.
