An organization is planning to migrate an on-premises retail inventory system hosted on a VMware vSphere environment to Azure. The system consists of five web servers and a cluster of database servers. A strict security policy prohibits the installation of any software agents on the virtual machines during the assessment phase. You need to use Azure Migrate to discover the virtual machines, map their network dependencies, and assess their readiness for Azure.
Which two actions should you include in the assessment strategy? Choose two.
- Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance as a VMware Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) template on-premises.Answer
- Enable agentless dependency analysis and add guest operating system credentials to the Azure Migrate appliance.Answer
- CInstall the Microsoft Monitoring Agent (MMA) and the Dependency agent on all virtual machines.
- DConfigure an Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) infrastructure to authorize the dependency tracking connection.
- EDeploy a dedicated Azure SQL Database singleton to store and process the schema assessment reports.
Answer
Deploy the Azure Migrate appliance as a VMware Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) template on-premises and enable agentless dependency analysis by adding guest operating system credentials to the Azure Migrate appliance.
Deploying the Azure Migrate appliance as a VMware Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) template is the standard, agentless way to discover virtual machines on VMware vSphere. To analyze network dependencies without software agents, agentless dependency analysis must be configured. This requires adding guest operating system credentials to the Azure Migrate appliance so that it can query network connections via VMware Tools APIs.
