You can view discovered target platforms in the Targets list in either tool:
Web Interface: The Targets list includes:
All cloud hosts and VMware hosts discovered using the Web Interface
All VMware hosts in the default network discovered using Migrate Client
NOTE:Use the Web Interface to discover target cloud hosts and VMware hosts in non-default networks if you plan to use the Web Interface for migrations to those locations.
All target hosts displayed in the Web Interface Targets list are supported as migration targets using the Web Interface. See Table 21-1, Supported Target Host Discovery Capabilities.
Migrate Client: The Targets list includes:
All the discovered VMware target hosts, no matter where you initiated discovery.
All Hyper-V hosts discovered using Migrate Client
For information about the target hosts that the Web interface and the Migrate Client supports, see Table 21-1, Supported Target Host Discovery Capabilities.
