Product Description

PlateSpin Migrate enables you to migrate heterogeneous workloads across x86-based physical, virtual, image, and cloud infrastructures in your data center. It decouples the workload infrastructure from its software (operating system, applications, and data) to allow any-to-any migrations. Migrate provides tools to easily discover workloads and hosts in your environment. You can efficiently configure, execute, and test workload even before the actual cutover, and also monitor the status of orkload migration.

In addition to virtual and physical hosts, PlateSpin Migrate supports migration of workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, VMware vCloud Director, and VMware Cloud on Amazon Web Services.

Documentation for this release is available online in HTML and PDF format. Visit the PlateSpin Migrate 2018.11 Documentation website.

File Description

Filename	Usage
`PhysicalTarget-2018_11.zip`	Contains the compressed PlateSpin ISO files, which are used to boot BIOS or UEFI firmware-based target physical machines or virtual machines during semi-automated migrations and semi-automated Server Sync operations. The semi-automated migration is used to transfer the workload to a physical machine or virtual machine that has been registered in PlateSpin Migrate. This registration occurs when you boot the target machine with the PlateSpin ISO image and register with the PlateSpin Server by following the prompts. The `bootofx.x2p.iso` file uses SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 SP3 for the Linux RAMDisk (LRD), which contains a minimal set of system files, drivers, and executables, sufficient for an initial, temporary boot. It supports all enhancements for the PlateSpin Migrate 2018.11 release. You can optionally select support for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Multipath I/O functionality, or both FCoE and MPIO to recognize and temporarily manage those capabilities in the target physical or virtual machine. Use this ISO for migration of 64-bit workloads. The `bootofx.x2p.sles11sp4.iso` file uses SLES 11 SP4 for the LRD. It does not support the enhancements for the PlateSpin Migrate 2018.11 release. Use this ISO for migration of 32-bit workloads. See "PlateSpin ISO Image" in the PlateSpin Migrate User Guide.
`PlateSpin_Replication_Environment-2018_11.zip`	PlateSpin requires a replication environment to migrate workloads to a vCloud Organization. This replication environment is a virtual appliance based on a SLES 11 operating system and is required for migration of non-UEFI workloads. It contains all the required PlateSpin tools. This ZIP file contains a OVF PlateSpin Package that you must upload to the vCloud organization if you want to migrate non-UEFI workloads to vCloud. See "Prerequisites for Migrating Workloads to VMware vCloud Director" in the PlateSpin Migrate User Guide.
`PlateSpin_Replication_Environment_UEFI-2018_11.zip`	PlateSpin requires a replication environment to migrate workloads to a vCloud Organization. This replication environment is a virtual appliance based on a SLES 12 operating system and is required for migration of UEFI workloads. It contains all the required PlateSpin tools. This ZIP file contains a OVF PlateSpin Package that you must upload to the vCloud organization if you want to migrate UEFI workloads to vCloud. See "Prerequisites for Migrating Workloads to VMware vCloud Director" in the PlateSpin Migrate User Guide.
`PlateSpinMigrateSetup-2018.11.xxx.exe` (where `xxx` denotes the number of the build that is available for download. For example, `PlateSpinMigrateSetup-2018.11.0.782.exe` installs PlateSpin Migrate version 2018.11, build number 782.)	Use this PlateSpin Migrate setup executable to install the product. The program checks your system for the necessary prerequisites and interactively installs the required software components. See "Installing PlateSpin Migrate" in in the PlateSpin Migrate Installation and Upgrade Guide.
`VolumeManager.exe`	Use to change the local volume serial numbers to match on each node of the Windows cluster that you want to migrate. See "Synchronizing Serial Numbers on Cluster Node Local Storage" in the PlateSpin Migrate User Guide.
`Install_PlateSpin_Migrate_Prerequisites-2018_11.zip`	Contains the `Install PlateSpin Migrate Prerequisites.ps1` file and related `.bat` and `readme.txt` files. Run the `Install PlateSpin Migrate Prerequisites.bat` file to execute the PowerShell script. The PowerShell script automatically installs and configures prerequisite software on the intended PlateSpin Migrate server host where you have previously installed a supported version of Microsoft Windows Server operating system and activated the Windows license. NOTE: The installation of prerequisite software might require a reboot of the intended PlateSpin Migrate host server. Depending on what prerequisite software needs to be installed, Internet access might be required. See " Prerequisite Software" and "Installing Prerequisite Software" in the PlateSpin Migrate Installation and Upgrade Guide.
