6.3 Configuring Source Service Defaults

PlateSpin Migrate Client enables you to select Windows services and Linux daemons to stop on the source workload during migration. Because the source server is active during migration, this option helps ensure data consistency between the source and target workloads. See Services or Daemons to Stop before Replication or Cutover.

To configure the default services on the source:

  1. Launch the PlateSpin Migrate Client.

  2. Click Tools > Options.

  3. Click the Source Service Defaults tab.

Stop Services during Transfer section: Lists services that are stopped by default. To stop a service during data transfer that uses a specific transfer method by default, select the corresponding check box. A deselected check box means the service remains active during data transfer.

All Services section: Lists unique services on all discovered machines. Click Add to add a selected service from the lower section to the upper section and set it to stop during the migration.

Update Defaults from Server: Retrieves defaults from PlateSpin Server.
