Migration Volume

You need to create migration volume so that the tool can store backups and meta data. If the container is deleted, the data still persists because it is stored outside the container.

Create a folder named migrationVolume in the Host machine.

If you are using Linux based Host, run the following commands. For other OS such as Windows, use OS specific commands.

mkdir migrationVolume

Provide permissions for migrationVolume so that the container can write into this volume.

chmod o+rwx migrationVolume

If you are staging 3.1 OVA locally on file system, ensure that the OVA is copied to this folder

migrationVolume so that migration container can access.
