Executing the application migration plan

After creating the migration plan, you must execute the plan.

If you had selected VVR Replication as the data migration type, you must have a valid VVR license and you must start the following services on the source and target cluster nodes before executing the plan:

  • vxnm-vxnetd

  • vras-vradmind

  • vxrsyncd

To execute the application migration plan

  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective, expand Solutions in the left pane and click Application Migration Plan.
  2. Right-click the plan that you created, click Setup Storage, and click OK in the Execute Migration Plan window.

    On the Latest Run area of the screen, you can view the Setup Storage tasks that are being executed and the corresponding status.

    The Status column of the Migration Plan window displays the overall status of the Setup Storage operation.

    To verify whether mirror disk groups have been created in the source cluster in case of mirroring and whether remote disk groups have been created in the target cluster in case of replication:

    • In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.

    • Expand the Organization, or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the managed host.

    • Expand the managed host of the cluster and then expand Disk Groups.

    To verify whether RVGs have been created in the disk group in case of replication:

    • Expand the managed host in the target cluster.

    • Expand RVGs.

    If you had chose to pause any task as outlined in step 8 of Creating an application migration plan section, click Resume to resume the task that was paused.

  3. Go to step 1. Right-click the plan that you created, click Rehearse, and click OK in the Execute Migration Plan window. You can execute the Rehearse operation multiple times.

    On the Latest Run area of the screen, you can view the Rehearse tasks that are being executed and the corresponding status.

    The Status column of the Migration Plan window displays the overall status of the Rehearse operation.

    If you had chose to pause any task as outlined in step 8 of Creating an application migration plan section, click Resume to resume the task that was paused.

  4. Go to step 1. Right-click the plan that you created, click Migrate, and click OK in the Execute Migration Plan window.

    You can execute the Migrate operation only once. After you start the Migrate operation, you cannot stop or revert it. You must perform this operation only after executing all the other operations.

    On the Latest Run area of the screen, you can view the Migrate tasks that are being executed and the corresponding status.

    The Status column of the Migration Plan window displays the overall status of the Migrate operation.

    If you had chose to pause any task as outlined in step 8 of Creating an application migration plan section, click Resume to resume the task that was paused.

  5. To verify whether the service groups have been migrated successfully to the target cluster:
    • In the Management Server console, go to the Availability perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.

    • Expand the Organization, or Uncategorized Clusters to locate the cluster.

    • Go to the source cluster and expand Service Groups, the service groups must be offline.

    • Go to the target cluster and expand Service Groups, the service groups must be online.

Refer to the following sections:

See Understanding the tasks executed in each operation.

See Validations performed before migration plan execution.
