5.9 Using Public IP to Register the Target Cloud Instance With Migrate Server

PlateSpin Migrate first uses a public IP address to register the target AWS and Azure instance with the Migrate server during migration. If the public IP address is not reachable, the connection attempt fails back to using a private IP address, and vice versa. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the UsePublicIPForRegistration parameter that is set to True by default.

NOTE:Before you configure UsePublicIPForRegistration to enable public IP address for target instances on cloud, refer to the cloud-specific documentation for information about their public IP pricing.

To use a public IP for registering the target AWS and Azure instance with the Migrate server during migration:

  1. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/

  2. Search to locate the UsePublicIPForRegistration parameter and ensure that its value is True:

  3. Save your settings and exit the page.

    A reboot or restart of PlateSpin services is not required to apply the changes.
