For workloads configured with the Install VM Tools option, the default behavior of PlateSpin Migrate is to remove the source workload VMware tools and install target workload-specific VMware tools on the target workload. PlateSpin Migrate controls this behavior by using the RetainSourceVMTools parameter that is set to False by default. To enable PlateSpin Migrate to retain the source VMware tools on the target workload, set the value of RetainSourceVMTools to True.
To retain the source VMware tools on the target workload:
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 RetainSourceVMTools 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.
