![]() ![]() VMs can be migrated on their own, or as part of a migration group. This tool allows for relatively simple VM migrations, with minimal downtime. GCP has a tool available to facilitate the migration of VMs to Compute Engine, called Migrate to Virtual Machines (formerly Migrate for Compute Engine). #Requires -Modules ModuleName="Az.Migrate" ModuleVersion="0.1.Your VMs to Google Compute Engine in 9 steps.Īre you still managing on-premises VMs? Then you will no doubt recognise the following points: the server equipment needs maintenance, a sufficient number of IT staff is required, energy prices are skyrocketing, you need sufficient capacity for peak loads and so on! Because of all these issues, a lot of companies are switching from local data centres to a cloud environment, either completely, or in a hybrid configuration. #Requires -Modules ModuleName="Az.Accounts" ModuleVersion="2.2.3" } $AzMigrateResourceGroupName = "resource group name here" $AzMigrateSubscriptionID = "subscription id here" $AzMigrateProjectName = "project name here" ![]() Automation Scriptīelow script can be used in order to automate the clean up of migrated virtual machines. To clean up the ASR disks, make sure to stop the replication as soon as your migration has been completed.Īfter having stopped the replication, the managed disks are deleted from your resource group. Note down the replica disk names, these are the replica disks that are still stored as a managed disk within your target resource group. ![]() When browsing to your VM in Azure Migrate, select disks. When looking at your Azure Migrate project, you will find a mix of servers that have been migrated and/or are pending a test migration or clean up. Your new virtual machine name will now have the exact naming convention as your on-premises virtual machine, including the attached virtual disks. Make sure to validate the server en perform the necessary actions that you have performed during the test migration. Like the test migration step, a new virtual machine is being created based on a snapshot of the latest version of the ASR disks. It is advised to mark the “shutdown local machine” option when performing the migration, this ensures that no data is being altered on the machine which is being migrated Step 8 demystified – Perform final migrationĭuring the final migration step, a final sync of the on-premises virtual machine will be made. When performing a clean up of the test migration, the virtual machine and corresponding managed disks are being deleted. All changes made on the “test migration” Virtual Machine will be lost. Once you’ve confirmed that your virtual machine is Azure capable and corresponds to your needs, you can clean up the test migration.īefore cleaning up the test migration, make sure that you have documented or automated the steps that you have performed on this virtual machine. Step 7 demystified – clean up test migration The replication Azure Site Recovery disks.The virtual disk names can be altered in the migration settings pane, however, it is advised to keep the disk names as is, to avoid any confusion.Īt this point, you will have 3 replica sets of your virtual machine disks. ![]() Please note that your VM is being created with a “test” suffix, to indicate that this machine is being “test migrated”. There are multiple reasons why you should perform a test migration, a major one is to find out if your server and corresponding applications are working properly in Azure.ĭuring the test migration, a snapshot is taken of the ASR disks and a new virtual machine is being created based upon your migration settings. Once the initial delta sync of your virtual machine has been completed, you are now able to perform a test migration. As you can see, a specific naming convention is applied by default to the ASR disks.Īsrseeddisk-(VMName)-GUID Step 6 demystified – run test migration ![]()
