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replication task on the source is no longer active.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.
If you plan maintenance on the source site, you might want to migrate replicated virtual machines to
cloud .
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the local site and the cloud site are online.
n
Verify that you have the 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. For more information, see Clean up a Test Recovery.
