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/.
To edit the value of the configuration parameters:
Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at: https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/.
Search the parameter you want to edit and make the required changes.
Save your settings and exit the page.
Advanced PlateSpin settings for AWS apply globally to all AWS target platforms that you define on the Migrate server.
By default, PlateSpin Migrate Server is preconfigured to use the AWS price list endpoint in the us-east-1 region for discovering the AWS supported instance types. However, if the instance type that you want to use is not listed in the price list endpoint of the configured region, set the value of AWSPriceListRegion parameter to the name of region that has a price list endpoint listing the desired instance type.
By default, PlateSpin Migrate Server allows you to log in to an AWS target instance only by using the key pair configured in the migration job. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the AWSEnableSourceCredentialsForLinuxWithKeypair parameter that is set to False by default. To enable logging into AWS Linux target instances either by using the key pair configured in the migration job or the source credentials, set the AWSEnableSourceCredentialsForLinuxWithKeypair parameter to True.
By default, PlateSpin Migrate Server is preconfigured to allow private IP addresses for communications during migrations to AWS. If the source workload cannot connect to the private IP address of the AWS target, then you require a public IP address for communications during migrations to AWS. To ensure that only public IP is used during migration:
Set the value of the UseOnlyPublicIPForAWS parameter as True.
Ensure that the value of the SourceListensForConnection parameter setting is set to False, which is the default value. See Configuring the Contact Direction for the Replication Port.
Set the AlternateServerAddress parameter to the Migrate server’s public IP address. See Configuring Alternate IP Addresses for PlateSpin Server.
PlateSpin Migrate provides the following parameters to configure KMS server for Windows OS activation on the target workload:
AWSKMSServers: This parameter lets you set the AWS KMS Server information that Windows instances use for activation. The target KMS Server should be in the same AWS Region where the Windows instance is running.
KMSClientSetupKeys: This parameter lists the commonly used OS version-based Microsoft KMS client setup keys that are used for activating Windows through KMS server. If the key for a particular OS is not listed, you can add an entry in the following format:
OperatingSystemTypeandBranding="Microsoft provided KMS Key"
Example: For a Windows server with OS type as Windows 2016 and branding as Standard Server, the format is Windows2016StandardServer="WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY"
By default, PlateSpin Migrate Server attempts to establish a SSH connection with the target VMs in PlateSpin Replication Environment 40 times before timing out the session. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the AwsMaxRepEnvConnectionAttempts parameter that is set to 40 by default. If the session times out, edit the value of the AwsMaxRepEnvConnectionAttempts parameter to increase the connection attempts to more than the set value.
