This section introduces the features of the PlateSpin Migrate product and how you use the PlateSpin Migrate Client to carry out workload migration and management tasks.
The PlateSpin Migrate Client connects to a specified PlateSpin Server and provides access to information in the PlateSpin Server database.
Most of your interaction with the server takes place through the client, including the discovery of source workloads and targets; setting up, executing, and monitoring jobs; managing license keys; and configuring the default behavior of the server.
IMPORTANT:
When you migrate workloads to a ESX server that belongs to a DRS cluster, the VMware DRS and VMware HA are set as disabled only for the target VM. However, the other VMs in the cluster are not be affected.
If the ESX host is a part of the VMware DRS or HA enabled cluster, you must discover the ESX host via vCenter or vCenter Cluster.
