F.1 Requirements for Migrate Agent Utility

When you use the Migrate Agent on the source workload, the source workload contacts the target workload for data transfers.

  • Ensure that you configure source workloads to support outbound traffic:

    • HTTPS port (TCP/443)

    • Replication port (TCP/3725 is the default)

  • Reconfigure the replication port direction on the Migrate Server (SourceListensForConnection=False) using the PlateSpinConfiguration page. See Section 5.9, Configuring the Contact Direction for the Replication Port.

  • A reboot is required when you install, uninstall, or upgrade block-based transfer drivers.

NOTE:Migrate Agent is supported only for live migrations. You can use Migrate Agent for automated migrations performed in the Migrate Web Interface and Migrate Client. It is not supported for use with semi-automated (X2P) migrations.
