4.0 Working with the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface

PlateSpin Migrate 12.0 introduces a Web Interface that supports large scale migration of workloads to VMware containers. Use this interface when you want to simultaneously migrate a large number of workloads.

IMPORTANT:

  • Do not use the PlateSpin Migrate Client and the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface interchangeably to perform the migration tasks during the migration process of a workload. NetIQ Corporation strongly recommends that you either use the PlateSpin Migrate Client or the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface throughout the migration cycle of a workload. For information about the migration tasks you can perform using the PlateSpin Migrate Client and the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, see Section 1.1.3, Migration Tasks Matrix for PlateSpin Migrate Client and PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface.

  • To migrate Windows clusters, you must use the PlateSpin Migrate Client. For more information about migrating Windows clusters, see Section 5.5, Migrating Windows Clusters.

  • You cannot use the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface to migrate the following:

    • PlateSpin Images

    • Workloads to the Hyper-V container

You can alter certain elements of the Web Interface to match your organization branding. For more information, see Rebranding the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface.
