H.8 PlateSpin OFX Controller Does Not Start on a Virtual Machine Source

Issue: If you configure Migrate to install the block-based component during the first replication, PlateSpin OFX Controller might not start on the source workload during the Install Block-Based Components step. The Service Manager reports this problem if the VM is running so slowly that the OFX Controller startup event times out.

Fix: Manually start PlateSpin OFX Controller on the source workload.

To avoid the problem, for workloads with low memory and CPU resources, do either of the following to improve startup performance:

  • Configure the workload to install the block-based component during Prepare Workload instead of First Replication.

  • Increase the Memory and CPU resources of the source VM.
