Migration Service

Overview

ZStack provides the V2V Migration Service, allowing you to migrate VM systems and data from other virtualization platforms to the current cloud. Currently, with the V2V Migration Service, you can:

Migrate VM instances from the vCenter that you took over to the current cloud. The supported versions of the source vCenter platform include 5.0, 5.1, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, and 6.7. Note that the version of vCenter Server must be consistent with that of ESXi Host.
Migrate VM instances from a KVM cloud platform to the current cloud.

As shown in V2V Migration.

The V2V Migration Service is a separate feature module. To use this feature, you need to purchase both the Base License and the Plus License of the V2V Migration Service. The Plus License cannot be used independently.

With the V2V Migration Service, you can:

Perform one-click V2V migrations in bulk for VM instances.
Only need to add a conversion host and create a V2V job. The cloud will do the rest of your work.
Configure an independent migration network and a network QoS for a conversion host to control transmission bottlenecks and to improve migration efficiencies.
Customize configurations for destination VM instances when you create a V2V job.
Monitor and manage the entire migration process in the visualized, well-designed UI.

Preparation

An admin must install the latest version of ZStack in advance, and deploy necessary resources used for creating VM instances.
For more information, see related topics in the User Guide.
The admin must purchase a Plus License of the Migration Service module in advance, and then install the Migration Service module.
If the source cloud platform is VMware, take over the vCenter to ZStack Private Cloud in advance.
