This document describes step by stepguidelineforinstalling the Data Migration Server.

This document is generally targeted to the technical people involved ininstalling the Data Migration Machine.

Installation

2.0Pre-requisites

2.1.Hardware

It is required to have a stand-alone data migration machine to execute the data migration jobs. Following diagram shows how the data migration works.

Hardware Requirement

Server Name / Memory / CPU / DiskSpace
Data Migration Machine / 8 GB or greater
(Recommend using
16Gb Ram for migrating big data) / 8 GHz or faster / Greater than 2 times Total DataBase Size need migration
Migration SQL server / 6 GB or greater / 6 GHz or faster / Greater than 4 times Total DataBase Size need migration

Alternatively, the migration server and the migration SQL server can be installed on a same machine with bellow Hardware Requirement:

Server Name / Memory / CPU / Disk Space
Data Migration Machine Migration SQL server / 12 GB or greater
(Recommend using
16Gb Ram for migrating big data) / 8 GHz or faster / Greater than 6 times Total DataBase Size need migration

2.2.Middleware

Following middleware must be available on the machines:
