Checking the Status of a Remote Agent Appliance

View the status of the remote agent appliance and plugins in Oracle Cloud Migrations.

    1. Open the navigation menu  and select Migration & Disaster Recovery. Under Cloud Migrations, select Remote Connections.
    2. On the Source environments page, from the list of environments, select the active environment that has the remote agent appliance for which you want to know the status.
    3. On the environment details page, in the Remote connections agents section, view the status of the agents.
      For a healthy agent, the State field displays the active state, and the Heartbeat field displays the healthy state.
    4. To view the status of the plugins for an active agent, from the list of remote connections agents, select the agent name.
    5. On the agent information page, in the Plugins section, view the status of the plugins.

      The appliance displays two plugins namely, discovery and replication. The discovery plugin searches for VMware virtual machines in the source environment using environment-specific connectors. The replication plugin manages the replication of source assets snapshots from the source environment to OCI.

      All the plugins must display an active state.

      Note

      If the replication connection state is Needs Attention with state details, No VDDK Library Path, you must add the agent dependency for the connection to become active.
