9.8 Deploying a Migrate Server Image in Azure

PlateSpin Migrate offers a PlateSpin Migrate Server image in Azure through the Azure Marketplace in each of the supported Azure environments.

NOTE:For PlateSpin Migrate Servers deployed through the Azure Marketplace, Migrate installs Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Express Edition for the PlateSpin database and generates a password for the SQL administrator (sa) user. For improved security, we recommend that you modify the password for this user after the deployment is complete.

To enable the deployment of the Migrate Server in Azure and assign relevant permissions, do the following:

  1. Go to the appropriate Azure Portal and log in to your Azure account:

  2. In the portal menu, Select Marketplace, then click New.

  3. Under New, search for PlateSpin.

  4. On the PlateSpin Migrate Server page, view the deployment options and related prices.

  5. Select the appropriate deployment model, then click Create.

  6. Configure Basics and Size settings.

  7. In Settings, specify Static as the assignment method for the public IP address:

    1. In the Settings panel under Network, select Public IP address.

    2. In the Choose public IP address panel, select Create New.

    3. In the Create public IP address panel, specify migrate-server-ip as the name and Static as the assignment method.

    4. Click OK.

      Azure allocates and reserves an IP address from a pool of its available IP addresses in the Azure location where you deploy the Migrate server.

  8. Review settings and approve the purchase.

  9. (Optional, recommended) For improved security, modify the password for the SQL Administrator (sa) user on the deployed Migrate server in Azure. For information, contact Micro Focus Technical Support.
