Force Cleanup for a Failed or Canceled Migration

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

1. Navigate to either the Migration Management or the Migration Tracking screen.
2. Review the Progress and the Status columns for failure or cancelation messages: Canceling Migration, Migration Failed, or Migration Canceled.
3. Review system and event messages for indications that processes related to the migration failure or cancelation were not cleaned up.
4. 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.

   
5. (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.
6. 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.
