4.7 Discovering Source Workloads and Targets

Before you migrate a workload through the Web Interface, you must first add or discover the workload and a target.You must also ensure that PlateSpin Server can communicate with your source workloads and targets. For more information, see section Section 2.3.1, Requirements for Discovery.

For more information about workloads and how to add workloads, see Section 4.8, Workloads.

For more information about targets and how to add targets, see Section 4.9, Targets.

NOTE:

  • All the workloads and the targets that you discover using the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface are listed in the PlateSpin Migrate Client also. However, if you discover workloads and targets through the Platespin Migrate Client, then only the workloads and targets that you discover in the default network displays on the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface.

  • When you use the Web Interface to discover workloads and targets, a default heartbeat delay of 15 seconds (15000 ms) is set on the controller.

    To enable a heartbeat delay of shorter or longer duration, do the following:

    1. On the Migrate server computer, open the registry editor.

    2. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\PlateSpin\OperationsFramework\Controller.

    3. Add a key named HeartbeatStartupDelayInMS of type REG_SZ and set its value to the desired value in milliseconds. The default setting should be 15000.

    4. Restart the server computer.
