After you submit a workload for migration, you can withdraw it at any time before the migration begins. After an automated migration begins, you can withdraw the workload at key points during the migration process.
NOTE:Do not attempt to Withdraw or Cancel a submitted automated migration while a replication is in progress.
When you withdraw a workload from automated migration, you have the option of removing the target VM and cleaning up the workload job from the Migrate server. The behavior depends on where in the workflow the migration is at the time:
If the migration is waiting to start, the state returns immediately to Prepared, waiting.
If the migration has started, you have an option to automatically clean up the VM host and Migrate server:
If you opt to remove the target VM, the clean-up occurs before it the state returns to Prepared, waiting. The clean-up can take a while. You cannot modify the workload until the clean-up is completed.
If you opt to not remove the target VM, the state returns immediately to Prepared, waiting. The workload job remains on the Migrate server and the target VM remains on the target host.
You should manually clean up the target VM and Migrate server.
To withdraw a single workload:
In the Web Interface, select Planning in the toolbar, then select the Workloads tab.
Use the Filter and Advanced Search options to locate the workload of interest.
Double-click the workload you want to modify to open its Workload dialog.
You can alternatively select the workload, and then click Edit.
In the header area of the Workload dialog, review the current status of the workload.
At the bottom of the Workload dialog, click Withdraw.
If you are prompted for permission to remove the target VM, do one of the following:
Click Yes to initiate and automated clean up the target VM on the VM host and the workload job on the Migrate server.
Wait for the Withdraw action to complete gracefully for the workload before you attempt to modify its Transformation configuration.
Click No if you want to manually clean up the target VM on the VM host and the workload job on the Migrate server.
