Creating a Discovery Work Request

After creating an asset source, run the Oracle Cloud Migrations external asset discovery.

    1. Open the navigation menu  and select Migration & Disaster Recovery. Under Cloud Migrations, select Discovery.
    2. On the Asset sources list page, select an active asset source.
      The asset source details page opens. The Connections tab shows the active connectors that connect the discovery plugin with the source environment.
    3. To start a discovery job by refreshing the asset source, select the Actions menu (three dots) and then select Run discovery.
    4. Confirm that you want to run discovery.
      The discovery job is listed on the Work requests tab. Wait for the status of the work request to change to Succeeded.
    5. Select the Assets tab.
    You can now see a mapping between the VMs in the source environment and the discovered assets.

  • To run the external asset discovery for an asset source and get details of the discovery work request, use the asset source refresh command.

    oci cloud-bridge discovery asset-source refresh --asset-source-id asset_source_ID [OPTIONS]

    The required parameter for the refresh command is:

    --asset-source-id: Specifies the OCID of the asset source.

    To get all the commands for discovery asset-source, run:

    oci cloud-bridge discovery asset-source -h

    To get help for the refresh command, run:
