The Force Cleanup option provides the method for manually cleaning up failed or canceled migration processes that were not automatically cleaned up by the system.
Migration processes for a failed or canceled migration must be cleaned up prior to retrying a migration.
Procedure
- Navigate to either the Migration Management or the Migration Tracking screen.
- Review the Progress and the Status columns for failure or cancelation messages: Canceling Migration, Migration Failed, or Migration Canceled.
- Review system and event messages for indications that processes related to the migration failure or cancelation were not cleaned up.
- For any migrations that did not clean up properly, click Force Cleanup.
If there are multiple migrations requiring clean up, you can select all that apply.
A pop-up window appears prompting you to confirm the clean-up operation and offering the option to remove seed checkpoint data.
Caution: Removing the seed checkpoint data discards any previous migration progress, and that progress cannot be recovered.
- (Optional) Select Remove Seed Checkpoint data.
You might select this option if the seed data at the destination site is not required for future use.
- To proceed with the clean-up operation, click Yes.
Observe the specific migration event messages related to the migration to verify that the clean up was successful.
What to do next
If the clean-up operation did not succeed, repeat the Force Cleanup operation.
