Confirming target virtual machines

After data migration is complete, you need to check on the target cluster whether the migrated virtual machines can start properly, whether services run properly, whether network settings meet expectations, and whether non-system disks of Windows virtual machines are automatically brought online.

Information:

• If the migrated virtual machine is not displayed in the target virtual machine list, it is likely that the target management platform has not synchronized cluster information in time. In this case, refresh data in the virtual machine list, and then confirm again.
• If the migration task is displayed as Completed on the plan details page or task details page, but the page prompts that network configuration failed, the VirtIO driver cannot be installed for the virtual machine temporarily, or VMware Tools uninstall was skipped, follow the prompt to manually check the corresponding configuration on the target.

If the target virtual machine runs properly

If you confirm that the target virtual machine can start properly, services run properly, network settings are correct, and non-system disks are brought online as expected, it indicates that the virtual machine migration is complete. You can proceed to check other virtual machines in the same migration plan.

After you confirm that all virtual machines in the plan are properly migrated, you can perform Archive cleanup for the migration task on the plan details page to clear snapshots and temporary resources generated during migration.

If the target virtual machine cannot run properly

If the target virtual machine cannot start properly or services are abnormal, resolve the issue based on the prompt information in the task details:

• Network configuration failed. Please manually check and resolve the target network configuration issues.
• The VirtIO driver could not be installed for this VM right now, so the IDE bus was used instead. Try installing the VirtIO driver manually.
• VMWARE_TOOLS uninstall was skipped. Please uninstall it manually on the target VM as needed.

If the task prompt indicates that the VirtIO driver cannot be installed for the virtual machine temporarily, resolve the issue as follows:

1. Handle the issue based on whether Start VM after migration is checked:

   • Unchecked: On the plan details page or virtual machine details page, click Create VM with driver injection disabled. The system will disable driver injection and recreate a target virtual machine that uses the IDE bus.
   • Checked: The system automatically starts the virtual machine by using the IDE bus, and no manual operation is required.

2. After recreation is complete, start the virtual machine and check again:

   • If the virtual machine can run properly, manually install the VirtIO driver on the target, and then continue subsequent confirmation and archive cleanup.
   • If the virtual machine still cannot run properly, do not perform archive cleanup on the task immediately. Keep the task context and contact technical support for further troubleshooting.

If Windows non-system disks are not automatically brought online

If non-system disks of a Windows virtual machine are not automatically brought online, manually bring them online in Disk Management first, and then run the following commands in cmd.exe in sequence to set the disk online policy to OnlineAll:

Diskpart
SAN Policy=OnlineAll

After the migration task is complete, you can view task details on the migration plan details page.
