PlateSpin Migrate provides the PlateSpin Virtual Machine Manager role for VMware vCenter to use that make it possible for non-administrative VMware users (or “enabled users”) to perform Migrate lifecycle operations in the VMware environment. On the Migrate server, the PlateSpinRole.xml file describes the minimum permissions required for migration to VMware in the PlateSpin Virtual Machine Manager role.
To view the minimum permissions for migration to VMware:
Log in to the PlateSpin Migrate server host as a user with Administrator privileges.
In an Explorer browser, navigate to the folder that contains the PlateSpinRole.xml file:
<Migrate-install-location>\PlateSpin Migrate Server\bin\VMwareRolesTool\PlateSpinRole.xml
In a text editor, open the PlateSpinRole.xml file and view the permissions for the PlateSpin Virtual Machine Manager role.
A VMware vCenter Administrator can create the PlateSpin Virtual Machine Manager role by creating a non-administration user in VMware and providing access to the required permissions (as listed in PlateSpinRole.xml file). Create the PlateSpin Virtual Machine Manager role by using the vCenter client, or use the PlateSpin VMware role tool (PlateSpin.VMwareRoleTool.exe) provided by PlateSpin in the <Migrate-install-location>\PlateSpin Migrate Server\bin\VMwareRolesTool\ folder.
