Creating Migration Assets in a Migration Project

Add assets to a migration project using the Oracle Cloud Migrations inventory. You can add only those assets that are not associated with any other migration projects.

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu  and select Migration & Disaster Recovery. Under Cloud Migrations, select Migrations.
  2. On the Migrations page, click the active migration project for which you want to add migration assets.
  3. On the Migration project details page, from Resources, click Migration assets, and then click Add migration assets.
  4. On the Add assets from OCM inventory page, click Add from OCM inventory.
  5. In the Add migration assets window, select the assets that you want to add, and click Add migration assets. You are redirected to the Add assets from OCM inventory page.
  6. Click Next.
  7. For the Replication location step, in the Default replication location box, select the volume availability domain, replication compartment, and replication bucket, and then click Select. To change an existing replication location, select the asset and click Edit replication location. To reset, click Reset to default.
     Note
     
     You can't change the replication compartment or bucket after creating a migration asset.
  8. Click Submit.

  You can now change the migration plan, if required.
