13.4 Configuring the SCSI Adapter and VMware Tools for the Target Workload

By default, PlateSpin Migrate configures the SCSI adapter and VMware tools that are the best choice for the OS on the target workload. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the UseSameAsSourceVMwareSCSIAdapterType parameter that is set to False by default. To enable PlateSpin Migrate to configure the same SCSI adapter as on the source workload and retain the source workload VMware tools, set the value of UseSameAsSourceVMwareSCSIAdapterType parameter to True.

To use the same SCSI adapter and retain the VMware tools as on the source workload:

  1. Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:

    https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/

  2. Search to locate the UseSameAsSourceVMwareSCSIAdapterType parameter and set its value to True.

  3. Save your settings and exit the page.

    A reboot or restart of PlateSpin services is not required to apply the changes.
