Cheers for trusting us with the spot in your mailbox! Please see KB for more details. Do not run any jobs before using the migration tool otherwise, the migration process won't be possible. Veeam Technical Support will not assist in the usage or troubleshooting of this tool. This tool cannot fix jobs targeting a Cloud Connect repository.

You must perform an Active Full backup. In Select name and folder and Select configuration , accept the default settings. By default, the template contains a single NIC. You can add additional NICs after deployment.

After the replication appliance is registered, Azure Migrate Server Assessment connects to VMware servers using the specified settings, and discovers VMs. In the portal you can select up to 10 machines at once for replication.

If you need to replicate more, then group them in batches of In On-premises appliance , select the name of the Azure Migrate appliance that you set up. In Guest credentials , specify the VM admin account that will be used for push installation of the Mobility service. Then click Next: Virtual machines. In Target settings , select the subscription, and target region to which you'll migrate, and specify the resource group in which the Azure VMs will reside after migration.

In Cache storage account , keep the default option to use the cache storage account that is automatically created for the project. Use the drop down if you'd like to specify a different storage account to use as the cache storage account for replication.

In Compute , review the VM name, size, OS disk type, and availability configuration if selected in the previous step. VMs must conform with Azure requirements. Then click Next. In Review and start replication , review the settings, and click Replicate to start the initial replication for the servers. Settings can't be changed after replication starts. When delta replication begins, you can run a test migration for the VMs, before running a full migration to Azure. We highly recommend that you do this at least once for each machine, before you migrate it.

We recommend you use a non-production VNet. The machine name has a suffix -Test. After the test is done, right-click the Azure VM in Replicating machines , and click Clean up test migration. After you've verified that the test migration works as expected, you can migrate the on-premises machines. After the job finishes, you can view and manage the VM from the Virtual Machines page.

Investigate the cloud migration journey in the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework. Skip to main content. If you choose to use domain credentials, you also must enter the FQDN for the domain.

The FQDN is required to validate the authenticity of the credentials with the Active Directory instance in that domain. Review the required permissions on the account for discovery of installed applications, agentless dependency analysis, and discovery of web apps and SQL Server instances and databases.

To add multiple credentials at once, select Add more to save credentials, and then add more credentials. When you select Save or Add more , the appliance validates the domain credentials with the domain's Active Directory instance for authentication. Validation is made after each addition to avoid account lockouts as the appliance iterates to map credentials to respective servers.

In the configuration manager, in the credentials table, see the Validation status for domain credentials. Only domain credentials are validated. If validation fails, you can select a Failed status to see the validation error. Fix the issue, and then select Revalidate credentials to reattempt validation of the credentials. To start vCenter Server discovery, select Start discovery.

After the discovery is successfully initiated, you can check the discovery status by looking at the vCenter Server IP address or FQDN in the sources table. It takes approximately minutes for the discovery of servers across 10 vCenter Servers added to a single appliance. If you have provided server credentials, software inventory discovery of installed applications is automatically initiated when the discovery of servers running on vCenter Server s is finished.

Software inventory occurs once every 12 hours. Software inventory identifies the SQL Server instances that are running on the servers. Using the information it collects, the appliance attempts to connect to the SQL Server instances through the Windows authentication credentials or the SQL Server authentication credentials that are provided on the appliance.

Then, it gathers data on SQL Server databases and their properties. The SQL Server discovery is performed once every 24 hours. Appliance can connect to only those SQL Server instances to which it has network line of sight, whereas software inventory by itself may not need network line of sight.

Discovery of installed applications might take longer than 15 minutes. The duration depends on the number of discovered servers. For servers, it takes approximately one hour for the discovered inventory to appear in the Azure Migrate project in the portal.

Software inventory identifies web server role existing on discovered servers. If a server is found to have web server role enabled, Azure Migrate will perform web apps discovery on the server. Web apps configuration data is updated once every 24 hours.

During software inventory, the added server credentials are iterated against servers and validated for agentless dependency analysis. When the discovery of servers is finished, in the portal, you can enable agentless dependency analysis on the servers. Only the servers on which validation succeeds can be selected to enable agentless dependency analysis.

NET web apps and SQL Server instances and databases data begin to appear in the portal within 24 hours after you start discovery. Additionally, the transport layer uses SSL to encrypt the channel and bypass the certificate chain to validate trust.

Hence, the appliance server must be set up to trust the certificate's root authority. However, you can modify the connection settings, by selecting Edit SQL Server connection properties on the appliance.

Learn more to understand what to choose. Click on the discovered servers count to review the discovered inventory. You can filter the inventory by selecting the appliance name and selecting one or more vCenter Servers from the Source filter. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.

Set up an Azure account. Prepare the VMware environment for discovery. Create a project. Set up the Azure Migrate appliance. Start continuous discovery. Note Tutorials show you the quickest path for trying out a scenario. Note You can scope the vCenter Server account to limit discovery to specific vCenter Server datacenters, clusters, hosts, folders of clusters or hosts, or individual servers. Note vCenter assets connected via Linked-Mode to the vCenter server specified for discovery will not be discovered by Azure Migrate.

Note You can add multiple server credentials in the Azure Migrate appliance configuration manager to initiate discovery of installed applications, agentless dependency analysis, and discovery of web apps, and SQL Server instances and databases. Note If you've already created a project, you can use that project to register more appliances to discover and to assess more servers. Note If you can't set up the appliance by using the OVA template, you can set it up by running a PowerShell script on an existing server running Windows Server Note If you set up the appliance by using a PowerShell script instead of a downloaded OVA template, you can skip the first two steps.
