This article describes how to add an assessment or migration tool to an Azure Migrate project for the first time.
Azure Migrate provides a central hub to track discovery, assessment and migration of your on-premises apps and workloads, and private/public cloud VMs, to Azure. The hub provides Azure Migrate tools for assessment and migration, as well as third-party, independent software vendor (ISV) offerings .
Set up a new Azure Migrate project in an Azure subscription, and add a tool.
- An Azure Migrate project is used to store discovery, assessment, and migration metadata collected from the environment you're assessing or migrating.
- In a project you can track discovered assets, and orchestrate assessment and migration.
-
In the Azure portal > All services, search for Azure Migrate.
-
Under Services, select Azure Migrate.
-
In Overview, click Assess and migrate servers.
-
Under Discover, assess and migrate servers, click Assess and migrate servers.
-
In Discover, assess and migrate servers, click Add tools.
-
In Migrate project, select your Azure subscription, and create a resource group if you don't have one.
-
In Project Details, specify the project name, and geography in which you want to create the project.
You can create an Azure Migrate project in any of these geographies.
Geography Storage location region Asia Southeast Asia or East Asia Europe North Europe or West Europe Japan Japan East or Japan West United Kingdom UK South or UK West United States Central US or West US 2 Canada Canada Central India India Central or India South Australia Australia SouthEast The geography specified for the project is only used to store the metadata gathered from on-premises VMs. You can select any target region for the actual migration.
If you want to specify a specific region within a geography for deploying the migrate project and its associated resources (Policy restrictions in your subscription may allow deploying of Azure resources only to a specific Azure region), you can use the below API to create a migrate project. Specify the Subscription ID, Resource group name, Migrate project name along with location(any of the Azure regions mentioned in the table where Azure Migrate is deployed.)
PUT /subscriptions/<subid>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Migrate/MigrateProjects/<mymigrateprojectname>?api-version=2018-09-01-preview "{location: 'centralus', properties: {}}" -
Click Next, and add an assessment or migration tool.
[!NOTE] When you create a project you need to add at least one assessment or migration tool.
-
In Select assessment tool, add an assessment tool. If you don't need an assessment tool, select Skip adding an assessment tool for now > Next.
-
In Select migration tool, add a migration tool as required. If you don't need a migration tool right now, select Skip adding a migration tool for now > Next.
-
In Review + add tools, review the settings and click Add tools.
After creating the project you can select additional tools for assessment and migration of servers and workloads, databases, and web apps.
In some circumstances, you might need to create additional Azure Migrate projects. For example if you have datacenters in different geographies, or you need to store metadata in a different geography. Create an additional project as follows:
- In the current Azure Migrate project, click Servers or Databases.
- In the top right-hand corner, click Change next to the current project name.
- In Settings, select Click here to create a new project.
- Create a new project and add a new tool as described in the previous procedure.
