24.5 Creating a Target Host

You can use the Hosts page to create host resources for the target transformation environment of a project.

NOTE:If a PlateSpin Migrate Connector is available to the project and the target VM host is a VMware Cluster, auto-discovery creates related Network, Datastore, and Resource Pool resources if they do not already exist.

  1. In the Web Interface toolbar, select Resources.

  2. Select the Hosts tab, then click Target.

  3. Click Create to open the Create Host dialog.

  4. Specify the following information for the host resource:

    • Name

    • Organization

    • Project

    • Description

    • IP/DNS Name (required for discovery and automated migration)

    • Credential (required for discovery and automated migration)

    • Hypervisor

    • Cluster

    • Hardware

    • Site

    • Enclosure

    • Slot

  5. Click Save to create the host resource.

    If auto-discovery is available, the host’s Network, Datastore, and Resource Pool resources are automatically created.

  6. Click Close to exit the dialog.

  7. (Optional) Visit the Network, Datastore, and Resource Pool tabs to visually verify information about the newly discovered resources.
