22.9 Migrating Windows Clusters with the Web Interface

After you prepare your environment for migrating the Windows cluster, you can use the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface to migrate the essential services of a cluster that results in a functional single-node cluster in a virtual machine in VMware. The workflow of migrating the Windows cluster is similar to that of migrating a standalone server, except that you migrate the active node.

  1. In the Web Interface, add the active node by specifying the IP address of the active node.

  2. Configure migration for the active node to VMware.

  3. Run the migration.

    See Section 22.8, Guidelines for PlateSpin Cluster Migration.

  4. Perform cutover.

    See Section 22.7, Guidelines for PlateSpin Cutover.
