PlateSpin Migrate lets you specify whether or not a public IP address should be assigned to the primary network interface of AWS and Azure instances. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance parameter that is set to False by default. To enable public IP address to be assigned to the primary NIC on AWS and Azure Instances, set the value of EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance parameter to True.
NOTE:Before you configure the EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance parameter to enable public IP address for target instances on cloud, refer to the cloud-specific documentation for information about their public IP pricing.
To assign public IP address to the primary NIC on AWS and Azure Instances:
Log in as Administrator to the PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface, then open the PlateSpin Server Configuration page at:
https://Your_PlateSpin_Server/PlateSpinConfiguration/
Search to locate the EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance parameter and set its value to True:
Save your settings and exit the page.
A reboot or restart of PlateSpin services is not required to apply the changes.
When you configure migrations to AWS or Azure, the behavior of the Network Connections configuration option that enables AWS or Azure to automatically assign a public IP address to primary NIC on the cloud instance depends on the value set for the EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance parameter:
When EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance is True:
For AWS: The Auto-assign Public IP option is selected by default and cannot be deselected.
For Azure: The Create Public IP option is selected by default and cannot be deselected.
When EnablePublicIPForCloudInstance is False:
For AWS: The Auto-assign Public IP option is selected by default and you can deselect this option if you do not want AWS to automatically assign a public IP address to primary NIC on the target instance.
For Azure: The Create Public IP option is deselected by default and you can select this option if you want Azure to automatically assign a public IP address to primary NIC on the target instance.
For information about the Auto-assign Public IP option, see Network Connections for Target Workload Settings (These settings are applied during the Run Cutover) and Target Workload Test Settings (These settings are applied during the Test Cutover) in Configuring Migration of a Workload to Amazon Web Services.
For information about the Create Public IP option, see Network Connections for Target Workload Settings (These settings are applied during the Run Cutover) and Target Workload Test Settings (These settings are applied during the Test Cutover) in Configuring Migration of a Workload to Microsoft Azure.
