Datacenter Consolidation and Migration Workload Migration Approach and Tool Guidance Version 2.2 Link Link Link Link • ASR – Azure Site Recovery with Hyper-V Replica Link Link Supported & No Cost – Quick and easy to download, use and start conversions of VMware VMs Convert to 2012 R2 – Converts and deploys virtual machines or virtual disks from VMware hosts to Hyper-V hosts including Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2 Scriptable – PowerShell enabled for performing virtual machine and disk conversions that integrates well with data center automation workflows OS Support – Supports Windows Server 2008 R2 and above & Windows 7 and above Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Supported Source & Destination Hosts Microsoft Azure vSphere vSphere vSphere 5.5 Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Supported Guest Operating Systems Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Converting to Microsoft Azure VMware -> Microsoft Azure MVMC performs virtual machine conversions to VHDs and uploads the disks to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage. Pre-Requisites Added a management certificate for Microsoft Azure that can be used for authentication with your subscription ID on Microsoft Azure. You have a storage account to upload and store the converted VHDs in Microsoft Azure. To convert and upload to Microsoft Azure, you have to install Windows PowerShell Runtime 3.0 on the machine on which MVMC is running. See documentation for guidance. Migration Automation Toolkit Accelerates and scales the MVMC through simple, extensible PowerShell automation Migration Automation Toolkit Free solution to automate & scale MVMC Migration Automation Toolkit for MVMC Series of PowerShell scripts that wrapper MVMC with automation to perform multiple conversions simultaneously Free to download, edit and customize Uses free SQL Server Express (or other SQL Server editions) to store information about the conversion process Supports multiple simultaneous conversions per MVMC machine Scales out across ‘Helper Nodes’ – multiple machines running MVMC and scripts all coordinated from central node More helper nodes = more conversions simultaneously. Helper machines Physical/Virtual OS with mvmc.exe 4. Scale 3. Convert mvmc.exe vSphere 1. Collect Physical/Virtual OS with SQL Express Hyper-V 2. Order Control machine User ordered list NetApp: Project Shift Rapid Virtual Machine Conversion – Powered by the Array Data ONTAP, FlexClone & WAFL Process involves cloning the data blobs from one format to another, writing any unique differences as needed. For VMware to Hyper-V, cloned from the flat VMDK into a VHD/VHDX, writing any headers and metadata as needed. Take a VMDK on an NFS data store and shift it to a VHD/VHDX in seconds. Supports conversion to Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts, including to VHDX files Supports Windows Server 2003 through to Windows Server 2012 R2, along with RedHat Only writing the difference in the file format not the contents of the virtual disk itself. Requires a NetApp storage device that is running Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, running in Cluster mode* Conversion process NFS VMware 1. SMB NetApp FAS2240 Conversion SQL Express 2. Hyper-V Collect data Storage vMotion to NetApp (no downtime) 3. Snapshot VM (backup) 4. Flex-Clone VMDK(s) 5. Collect network info of VM 6. Remove VMware Tools 7. Shutdown VM 8.

Storage LiveMigrate to Hyper-V storage pool Link MA migrates Windows Physical, Virtual and AWS workloads into Azure, irrespective of underlying hardware and storage MA provides a web based portal with 3 levels of tenancy for self-service and SI partner driven migrations MA performs guest level application discovery and enforces consistency across all VMs in a multi-tier application MA performs end-to-end Recovery Orchestration such as network and endpoint adaptation and recovery sequencing Microsoft Migration Accelerator: Pre-Requisites Sign-Up • Preview announced via Azure homepage, Blogs • Accept Preview Terms on landing page • Request for MA Portal Sign-Up, bits & documentation access Subscribe • Get an Azure Subscription • Bandwidth • S2S VPN or NAT IP for Cloud Gateway • Sign-up response e-mail with follow up instructions Provision • Download software and set up 2 Management VMs in Azure Subscription • Download S/W and set up 1 Management VM onpremises • Physical, Virtual, AWS • Application Discovery (SharePoint) • Windows 2008 R2 and above Discover Protect • Select Azure Subscription • Replication Settings • Map Storage Account • Select Servers and Recovery Order • VM and Network Settings • Specify End Points Cut-over VMware Compute Physical Storage Other Networks Master Config. Target Server MA Multi-tenant Portal VMware Physical Other Master Config. Target Server Microsoft Azure 1. With Test Failovers (Disaster Recover (DR) Drills) and Network Mapping, you can test your entire application and network configuration without impacting your production workload. 2. Test Failover allow you to scale your development and testing environments on-demand and ensures that you can validate your application’s functionality and its performance in Azure before making the final move. 3. With Recovery Plans that group virtual machines from multi-tiered applications into one consolidated failover unit, migrating to Azure is as simple as a click and benefits from the optimizations that we help to reduce your Recovery Time Objective (RTO). 4. Recovery Plans also support Planned Failovers so that your onpremises workloads will be gracefully shutdown before getting failed over to Azure. At that point you can Disable Protection on the virtual machines and leave them running in Microsoft Azure.
