Clean Up a Test Recovery
You can run a test recovery or a planned migration for a replication only after the results of its previous
test recovery are cleaned up.
In the vSphere Web Client, you can clean up test recovery results for replication tasks that appear under
vSphere Replication on the Monitor tab.
Procedure
1 In the list of replications, click a replication to check its test recovery status.
2 At Below the list, click the Test tab to view details of the test status.
3 If the test status is other than Test recovery has not been run or has been cleaned up
from the target site, click the Run test cleanup icon .
4 Click Yes.
Planned Migration to Cloud
Planned migration is an action that is available for replications to cloud. Planned migrations allow you to
move your workloads from vCenter Server to your cloud organization.
When you run a planned migration operation, the replication source virtual machine is powered off. The
placeholder virtual machine that is created in the cloud during replication is configured to run as a fully
functional virtual machine. When the recovered virtual machine is powered on in the target cloud site, the
replication task on the source is no longer active.
Migrate a Virtual Machine to Cloud
You can run a planned migration to move your workload from the vCenter Server to your cloud
organization.
You might want to migrate replicated virtual machines to cloud if you plan maintenance on the source site.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the source site and the target site are online.
n
Verify that you have enough privileges to initiate migrations to cloud.
n
If you have run test recoveries for the replication that you want to migrate, verify that you cleaned up
the test results.
Procedure
1 In the list of replications, click the replication that you want to migrate.
