Foglight Evolve 9.2 - Foglight for Cloud Migration User Guide

Importing Cloud Models from Portal

To import Cloud models from the portal:
1
In the Cloud Instance pane, click Import From Portal.
The Import Cloud Models From Portal dialog box opens.
2
In the Import Cloud Models From Portal dialog box, select a cloud provider and a region, the instances table refreshes automatically.
3
In the instances table, select the cloud models as needed, and then click Save.
The Cloud Instance table refreshes automatically and imported Cloud instances are added into this table.

Exporting Cloud instances

To export Cloud instances:
1
In the Cloud Instance pane, click Export.
The existing Cloud instances are downloaded as a .csv file automatically.

Running Cloud Model

To run Cloud model:
1
In the Cloud Model view, Add or Import Cloud IaaS Offerings.
2
Select VMs to Model.
Click Select VMs, select the VMs that you want to migrate to the Cloud instance, and then click Save.
3
In the Performance VS Cost Saving area, specify the following:
* 
NOTE: If the virtual machines that have been selected for migration must always perform at their peak, enter 0% against each of CPU, Memory, Disk and Network. If Cost is the most important factor and performance is not a concern, enter 100 against CPU, Memory, Disk and Network; that way, no matter how often the virtual machine will exceed the destinations available resources it will always be included in the cloud model outcome and costs calculation.
•
CPU: The default value is 10%.
•
Memory: The default value is 10%.
•
Disk IOPs/Throughput Impact: The default value is 10%.
4
Select time range for analysis. The options include:
•
24 Hrs
•
Business Hours (08:00 AM - 06:00 PM)
•
Custom (8 AM - 6 PM)
5
Select Model Type. Select either of the following:
•
Find the best cloud IaaS tier for all of the selected virtual machines (N VMs to one Tier): Move all VMs to the same tier.
•
Find the best fit across all of the proposed cloud IaaS tiers for the selected virtual machines (N VMs to N Tiers): Moves all VMs to different tiers.
6
Click Run Model.
The Foglight for Cloud Migration runs the analysis and shows recommended values in the Cloud Migration Model Outcome pane. For more information, see Model Outcome pane.

Model Outcome pane

The Model Outcome pane locates on the bottom of the Cloud Model view, which includes two sections:

•
Virtual machines that can be modeled.
Lists the detailed information about the selected Cloud instance, including Cloud, Tier, Region, Instance, Cost, Instances Required, and Explore Outcome.
Click Review Model in Explore Outcome column. A Cloud Migration Model Review pane will be open.
In the Cloud Migration Model Review pane, the upper table shows VM Fit status, which indicates how suited a VM is to the modeled IaaS instance. It includes:
•
Poor: Indicates that the VM will use a minimal amount of the provisioned resources.
•
Good: Indicates that the VM will use between 20%~60% of the provisioned resources.
•
Excellent: Indicates that the VM will use over 60% of the provisioned resources.
VMs will always be placed into the cheapest offer using the performance impact factor. If all VMs have a low level of fit, a cheaper IaaS instance should be added to the model.
Clicking Export as Excel, the model review result will be exported into an Excel file.
Clicking View VMs outside of this model, a VM’s Outside of this model dialog box opens. It shows the reasons why some VMs are not suitable for migration.
The lower table lists detailed information about all VMs that can be migrated to the selected Cloud instance, including VM Name, Protected Status, vCenter, Cluster, CPU Fit, Memory Fit, Disk IOPs /Throughput Fit, and Cost Estimation.
Select the VMs and click Add to Migration Plan, then the VMs will be displayed in the Plan table under Migration tab. For more information, see Modeling Virtual machines .
Click Start Over will return to the Cloud Model view.
Click Back will return to the Model Outcome pane.
•
Virtual machines that cannot be modeled.
Lists detailed information about all VMs that cannot be migrated to the selected Cloud instance, including State, Model Issue, VM name, OS, vCenter, Cluster, CPU, Memory, and IOPs.

Click Back will return to the Cloud Model view.
