Migrating Using the Console

Refer to the following steps to perform migration using the Console.

  1. In the console, navigate to DR Protection Groups and select the DR protection group from which you need to migrate the members. Note: Ensure to mark only the compute instances marked as legacy that need migration.
  2. Ensure to get and retain all the properties for each compute before removing them from the protection group. There are many properties associated with each compute instance being removed that must be reapplied when each new instance is added.
  3. In the Resources section, select Members.
  4. Select the check box for the compute instance members and select the legacy compute instances which needs to be migrated.
  5. Click Remove Members.
  6. Accept the warning that any existing DR Plans will require you to refresh and verify them and click Remove.
    Now the selected compute instance members will be removed from the DRPG.
  7. Now add back the compute instances to the DR Protection Group by clicking Add Members in members section of the DR Protection Group.
  8. Select Compute in the resource type and accept the warning about the plan deletion.
  9. Select whether the compute instance is a Movable or Non-Movable instance.
  10. Provide any additional member properties and configuration information for this compute instance.
  11. Click Add to add the new compute instance member to the DR Protection Group.
  12. Repeat the same steps to replace all the legacy compute instance members in the primary and standby DR Protection Groups.
    Note

    You can generate the plans and add the user defined steps to the plans once the compute instance members are migrated.
    Note

    Removing the member properties of an existing member in a DR protection group will require you to refresh the DR plans.
