And use Azure Migrate tool to migrate VMware virtual machines to Azure as the cloud, Hyper-V virtual machine you must first assess the preparatory work before the formal migration.
1. Prerequisites
There are some prerequisites must first be prepared prior to the assessment:
- Set permissions for Azure Azure Migrate.
- Ready to assess the Hyper-V cluster, host and VM.
- Deployment apparatus for preparing Azure Migrate Hyper-V VM discovery and evaluation.
Specific fancy blog post.
2. Add Azure Migrate tool
You can see this part before Bowen create the Azure cloud migration and managed Azure Migrate project to create a project and add tools.
3. Deployment apparatus provided Hyper-V VM
Azure Migrate server evaluates running a Hyper-V VM lightweight device.
- This device performs discovery VM, VM and transmits performance data and metadata to "Azure Migrate: two types of evaluation.
- To set up the device, do the following:
- Download the compressed Hyper-V VHD from Azure portal.
- Create the device and check if it can connect to Azure Migrate Server Evaluation.
- Complete configuration of the device for the first time, and register it to the Azure Migrate project.
1) Download the VHD
Download the compression device VHD template. In the "Migration Destination"> "server"> "Azure Migrate: Server Evaluation", click the "discovery." In the "Discover Computers"> "that the computer is virtualized?", Click "Yes, the use of Hyper-V". Click "Download" to download the VHD file.
For the device version 2.19.07.30, generates hash should match these settings.
| algorithm | Hash value |
|---|---|
| MD5 | 29a7531f32bcf69f32d964fa5ae950bc |
| SHA256 | 37b3f27bc44f475872e355f04fcb8f38606c84534c117d1609f2d12444569b31 |
2) create a device VM
a. Import the downloaded file, and then create the VM. After the file is downloaded to the compressed VHD Hyper-V host device placing the VM, extract the compressed file.
- In the position extracted files are extracted to a file named AzureMigrateAppliance_VersionNumber file folder.
- This folder contains a subfolder, also known as AzureMigrateAppliance_VersionNumber .
- This sub-folder contains three additional sub-folders - snapshots , virtual hard disk and virtual machine .
b. Open Hyper-V Manager. In the "Operation", click "Import virtual machines."
c. In the "Import Virtual Machine Wizard"> "Before You Begin", click "Next."
d. In the "locate the folder", select the "virtual machine" folder. Then click "Next."
e. In the "Select the virtual machine", click "Next."
f. In the "Select Import Type", click "Sign-place virtual machine (using only existing ID)". Then click "Next."
g. In the "Configuration" leave the default settings. Click "Next."
I can not meet this test machine due to the number of virtual machines VCPU requirements, so the next to be adjusted, changed to four.
h. In the "Select Network", specify the virtual switch VM to use. The switch needs to establish a connection to the Internet to send data to the Azure. Learn how to create a virtual switch.
i. Review provided "Summaries". Then click "Finish."
g. Start the VM "Hyper-V Manager"> "virtual machines". Then accept the license agreement
k. username and password
VM need to ensure that the device can connect to Azure.
Configuring Hyper-V device
1) In the "Hyper-V Manager"> "virtual machine", right-click the VM and select "Connect."
2) provision of equipment language, time zone, and password.
3) can be connected to any computer that VM open the browser, then open the URL of the Web application equipment: HTTPS: // device name or IP address : 44368.
Alternatively, you can open the application, click the application shortcut on the desktop device.
4)> do the following "Set Required Components" in the Web application:
- License : accept the license terms, and read the third-party information.
- Connection : application will check whether the VM can access the Internet. If you use a proxy VM:
- Click the "Proxy Settings", and begin with http: designated proxy address and listening port // ProxyFQDN format: // ProxyIPAddress or http.
- If the proxy requires authentication, specify the credentials.
- Only supports HTTP proxy.
- Time Synchronization : The verification time. Time on the device should be synchronized with an Internet time, so as to find a normal VM.
- Install the update : Azure Migrate server will evaluate whether to install the latest updates on inspection equipment.
The device registers to Azure Migrate
1) Click on "Login." If the button does not appear, make sure pop-up blocker is disabled in your browser.
2) In a new tab, log in using Azure credentials. Using a user name and password. It does not support the use of PIN login.
3) After a successful login, return to the Web application.
4) Select in which to create a subscription Azure Migrate project. Then select the item. Specifies the name of the device. The name should be alphanumeric, length of 14 or fewer characters. Click on "Register".
6. SMB VHD delegate credentials
If you run the VHD on SMB, you must enable credential delegation from the device to the Hyper-V host. This requires the following conditions:
- It allows each host to act as a proxy device.
- Enable CredSSP delegation to Azure Migrate device can act as a client to delegate credentials to the host.
Enabled on the device as follows:
method 1
Run this command on the device VM.
Enable-WSManCredSSP -Role Client -DelegateComputer HyperVHost1.contoso.com HyperVHost2.contoso.com –Force
Note: HyperVHost1 / HyperVHost2 is an example of a host name.
Method 2
Do the following Group Policy Editor locally on the device:
1) In the "Local Computer Policy"> "Computer Configuration", click "Administrative Templates"> "System"> "credential delegation."
2) Double-click "Allow commissioned new credentials" and select "Enable."
3) Click the "Show" in the "Options", to add to discover each Hyper-V host to the list, and use the wsman / as a prefix.
4) In the "credentials Assignment", double-click "Allow only assign new credentials for NTLM server authentication." Will be found in each Hyper-V host is added to the list again, and use the wsman / as a prefix.
7. Start sustained found
From the device connected to the host or cluster Hyper-V, and start the VM found.
1) In the "User Name" and "Password", specify the equipment used to discover the VM account credentials. Specify credentials of easy to remember name, and then click "save the details."
2) Click "Add Host", and then specify the Hyper-V host / cluster for more information.
3) Click the "Verify" . After authentication, the host will display each / VM on the number of clusters can be found.
- If the host authentication fails, hover over the icon column "Status" to see the error. Solve problems and verify again.
- To delete a host or cluster, select "Delete."
- You can not delete a specific host in the cluster. You can only delete the entire cluster.
- Even if a particular host in the cluster of problems, you can also add the cluster.
4) After verification, click 'Save and Activate discovery "to start the discovery process.
Then we will start the discovery. In the Azure portal, it takes about 1.5 minutes per host server to display metadata discovery.
8. Verify VM in the portal
After the discovery is complete, you can verify whether the VM appear in the portal.
1) Open the Azure Migrate dashboard.
2) In the "Azure Migrate - server"> "Azure Migrate: Server Evaluation" page, click shows have been found server counts icon.
9. Create assessment
1) In the "server"> "Azure Migrate: Server Evaluation", click the "assessment"
2) In the "evaluation server", specify the name of the evaluation. In the "Select or create a group", select "New" and specify the group name. The group to be evaluated or a plurality of VM brought together. In the "Add computers to a group", select the VM to be added to the group.
3) Click "Create assessment" to create the group, and run the assessment.
After the assessment is created in the "server">: see the assessment of "Azure Migrate Server Evaluation" in.
10. Review assessment
Assess description:
- Azure Migration Readiness : Are VM eligible for migration to Azure.
- Monthly cost estimate : estimates run in the Azure VM monthly compute and storage costs.
- Monthly storage cost estimate : estimated cost of disk storage after the migration.
View assessment
1) In the "Migration Destination"> "server"> "Azure Migrate: Server Evaluation", click the "assessment."
2) In the "Assessment", click to open an item assessment.
Beginning to assess the confidence level is relatively low, and so can be rerun after 1 day of performance-based assessments can be a more accurate
