In the PlateSpin Migrate Client, you can use a Move job to migrate the essential services of a cluster that results in a functional single-node cluster in a virtual machine in VMware or a physical machine.
The workflow of migrating a Windows cluster is similar to that of migrating a standalone server:
Discover the active node by specifying the IP address of the active node.
In the Servers view, use drag-and-drop to start a migration job, then configure the job’s parameters.
(Conditional: successful migration) If the migration job completes successfully, perform a Server Sync operation on the active node.
NOTE:If the active node in the cluster fails over before you can perform a Server Sync operation, perform a full migration using the new active node, and then perform a Server Sync on this new node.
(Conditional: failover prior to migration) If a cluster failover occurs prior to the completion of file transfer, the migration job aborts. If this happens, refresh the source and retry the migration job.
NOTE:If you select Shut down for the source’s post-migration end state, a shutdown of all source nodes of the cluster results.
