After the migration preparation completes successfully, the migration is ready for execution. Execution begins with the first replication. The first replication is a full replication with a Full Replication contract type or an incremental data synchronization for a pre-existing target workload with an Incremental Replication contract type.
The first replication is unscheduled by default. You can manually start the first replication. You can alternatively schedule the date and time to run the first replication. See Section 38.3, Scheduling Migration Execution (First Replication).
NOTE:You must prepare the source and target workload prior to the manual start. The full replication cannot run unless the target workload exists and the workload preparation is complete. See Section 38.1, Preparing a Migration.
To manually start the first replication:
In the Jobs view, locate the prepared workload that you want to migrate.
Right-click the job and select Start.
PlateSpin Migrate starts the first full replication for the workload.
To manually start the first replication:
On the Workloads page, select the prepared workload that you want to migrate.
Click Run Migration.
On the Workload Commands page, do one of the following depending on the migration contract type you configured for the workload:
Full Replication: Select Full Replication as the replication method.
Incremental Replication: Select Incremental Replication as the replication method.
(Optional) Set the following options as appropriate if you want to cut over the workload after a successful manual replication:
Run cutover after successful replication
Shut down source after cutover
Shut down target after cutover
Click Execute.
PlateSpin Migrate starts the first replication for the workload.
