Migrate

Migrate operation feature enables you to migrate a SAP system virtual machine —

1

From one host onto another host

2

From one datastore onto another datastore

3

From one network onto another network

Note   You can choose any combination of the above options to do the migration

Migration is a powerful tool that can be used to move a system or isolate a system thereby making it easy to

Provisioning

Provisioning with the VMware Adapter for SAP Landscape Management allows the user to take source

SAP systems and either clone or copy the system to create new target SAP systems.

Clone System

Clone operation creates an exact duplicate of the source system into a new target system. The most common

use case is to take a source development system and create a clone of that system for separate development

work. Other use cases may apply.

Procedure

1

Login to the SAP LaMa's administrative console. Click on System and AS Provisioning tab under

Provisioning option in the menu bar.

host. This should enable you to take informed decision with regards to the resource pool / ESXi

host to be used for placing the target clone system. Click the Next tab in the menu bar of the Define

Virtual Host window.
