Checking the Status of a Remote Agent Appliance

Learn how to view the status of the remote agent appliance and the discovery, replication plugins in Oracle Cloud Migrations.

Using the Console

To check the status of a remote agent appliance, do the following:

Open the Oracle Cloud Console navigation menu and click Migration. Under Cloud Migrations, click Remote Connections.
From the list of environments, click the active environment name link that has the remote agent appliances for which you want to know the status.
You are redirected to the environment page.
Under Remote connections agents, validate the status of any of the agents.
For a healthy remote connections agent, the Lifestyle State is active and the Heartbeat is healthy.
Under Remote connections agents, click an active agent that you want to explore.
You are redirected to the agent information page.
Under Plugins, check the state of all the plugins.
All the plugins must display an active state.
The appliance launches 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.
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.
