Planning For Migrating Workloads to Azure

  1. Discover target cloud platform.

Target Discovery in the Web Interface

IMPORTANT:(For Azure Stack only) The first-time discovery of an Azure Stack might take some considerable time (20-30 mins) because PlateSpin Migrate downloads the PlateSpin Replication Environment(PRE) image from the Azure Marketplace and uploads it to the Azure Stack. If the PlateSpin Replication Environment does not get successfully uploaded to Azure Stack, then the following messages are logged and you must manually upload the PRE image to the Azure Stack before you configure migrations to it.

Create UserImage has failed With Message: {0}

Create a User Image manually in the portal with Name {0} before continuing with the migration

To manually upload the PRE image to the discovered Azure Stack, see Manually Adding PlateSpin Replication Environment Image to Azure Stack.
