![]() If you follow the assessment tutorial, you've already set the appliance up. The Migration and modernization tool runs a lightweight VMware VM appliance that's used for discovery, assessment, and agentless migration of VMware VMs. Verify permissions for your Azure account - Your Azure account needs permissions to create a VM, and write to an Azure managed disk.Go to the already created project or create a new project.We recommend that you complete the second tutorial to assess VMware VMs before migrating them to Azure, but you don't have to.Complete the first tutorial to prepare Azure and VMware for migration.Prerequisitesīefore you begin this tutorial, you should: If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin. Run a test migration to make sure everything's working as expected.Add the Migration and modernization tool.#Requires -Modules ModuleName="Az.Migrate" ModuleVersion="0.1. #Requires -Modules ModuleName="Az.Accounts" ModuleVersion="2.2.3" } $AzMigrateResourceGroupName = "resource group name here" $AzMigrateSubscriptionID = "subscription id here" $AzMigrateProjectName = "project name here" Automation Scriptīelow script can be used in order to automate the clean up of migrated virtual machines. To clean up the ASR disks, make sure to stop the replication as soon as your migration has been completed.Īfter having stopped the replication, the managed disks are deleted from your resource group. Note down the replica disk names, these are the replica disks that are still stored as a managed disk within your target resource group. ![]() When browsing to your VM in Azure Migrate, select disks. When looking at your Azure Migrate project, you will find a mix of servers that have been migrated and/or are pending a test migration or clean up. ![]() Your new virtual machine name will now have the exact naming convention as your on-premises virtual machine, including the attached virtual disks. Make sure to validate the server en perform the necessary actions that you have performed during the test migration. Like the test migration step, a new virtual machine is being created based on a snapshot of the latest version of the ASR disks. It is advised to mark the “shutdown local machine” option when performing the migration, this ensures that no data is being altered on the machine which is being migrated Step 8 demystified – Perform final migrationĭuring the final migration step, a final sync of the on-premises virtual machine will be made. When performing a clean up of the test migration, the virtual machine and corresponding managed disks are being deleted. ![]() All changes made on the “test migration” Virtual Machine will be lost. Once you’ve confirmed that your virtual machine is Azure capable and corresponds to your needs, you can clean up the test migration.īefore cleaning up the test migration, make sure that you have documented or automated the steps that you have performed on this virtual machine. Step 7 demystified – clean up test migration The replication Azure Site Recovery disks.The virtual disk names can be altered in the migration settings pane, however, it is advised to keep the disk names as is, to avoid any confusion.Īt this point, you will have 3 replica sets of your virtual machine disks. Please note that your VM is being created with a “test” suffix, to indicate that this machine is being “test migrated”. There are multiple reasons why you should perform a test migration, a major one is to find out if your server and corresponding applications are working properly in Azure.ĭuring the test migration, a snapshot is taken of the ASR disks and a new virtual machine is being created based upon your migration settings. Once the initial delta sync of your virtual machine has been completed, you are now able to perform a test migration. As you can see, a specific naming convention is applied by default to the ASR disks.Īsrseeddisk-(VMName)-GUID Step 6 demystified – run test migration
