Environment

PlateSpin Migrate 12.3

Situation

While running a cut over for a UEFI Oracle Linux 7.3 workload that is running a UEK kernel, with the target platform as either Azure or vCloud, the cut over stalls with the message ERROR: "The Configuration service in the target machine does not seem to have started".

Resolution

Change the target workload's kernel so that it boots to the Red Hat kernel with these commands.

grub2-set-default 1;
grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg;
reboot;

If the GRUB prompt doesn't display or if console access to the target is not possible, run the same commands on the source workload before migration.
