Before using the Online Migration service template, you must do the following:
- Register web service connections in Ops Center Automator for each product
- An HTTP(S) connection is required from Ops Center Automator to each prerequisite product (Ops Center Administrator, Ops Center API Configuration Manager, Ops Center Protector and BNA/DCNM). See Configuring Web Service Connections.
- Set up a dataflow and resources in Ops Center Protector
- You need to set up a dataflow and resources in Protector to use the Online Migration template. See Online Migration service template prerequisites and How to create a data flow for more information.
- Register storage systems to API Configuration Manager
- Allocation of target volumes and unallocation of source volumes is performed through API Configuration Manager. See Registering storage systems to an Ops Center API Configuration Manager REST API connection.
- Set up secure communications between Automator and each product
- Secure communication is required for Protector, Administrator, and API Configuration Manager and BNA or DCNM. See Setting up secure communications between Automator and each product.
- Register storage systems and hosts in Administrator
- When selecting hosts for migration, host and attached volumes information is collected from Administrator. See Adding a storage system.
- Register an agentless remote connection in Automator
- When using the Quorum-less option, an agentless remote connection to the API Configuration Manager server is required if it is installed on a different server from Automator. See Registering agentless remote connections.
