2.7 Configuring Advanced PlateSpin Settings for Azure

Some aspects of your PlateSpin Server behavior are controlled by configuration parameters that you set on a PlateSpin Configuration web page residing on your PlateSpin Server host at https:// Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/.

Advanced PlateSpin settings for Azure Cloud tags apply globally to all Azure target platforms that you define on the Migrate server. For more information, see Using Azure Cloud Tags for Azure Migrations in the PlateSpin Migrate 2019.8 User Guide.

2.7.1 Defining Global Azure Cloud Tags on a PlateSpin Server

PlateSpin supports up to 8 Azure tags for a workload. Tags defined in the DefaultCloudTagsAzure parameter will be available automatically in the Workload Configuration page for all migrations to Azure on the PlateSpin Server.

To define global Azure tags on a PlateSpin Server:

  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 DefaultCloudTagsAzure parameter, then click Edit.

  3. Define up to 8 global Azure tags that you want to make available during configuration of migrations to Azure.

    Add each tag definition on a separate line in the following format:

    Tag Behavior

    Format

    Optional

    key

    Optional, suggested value

    key%value

    Required, user must specify a value

    %key

    Required, fixed value

    %key%value

  4. Save your settings and exit the page.

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