Installing the Migration Toolkit for Containers

You can install the {mtc-full} ({mtc-short}) on {product-title} 3 and 4.

After you install the {mtc-full} Operator on {product-title} {product-version} by using the Operator Lifecycle Manager, you manually install the legacy {mtc-full} Operator on {product-title} 3.

By default, the {mtc-short} web console and the Migration Controller pod run on the target cluster. You can configure the Migration Controller custom resource manifest to run the {mtc-short} web console and the Migration Controller pod on a source cluster or on a remote cluster.

After you have installed {mtc-short}, you must configure an object storage to use as a replication repository.

To uninstall {mtc-short}, see Uninstalling {mtc-short} and deleting resources.

For more information, see Configuring the cluster-wide proxy.

Configuring a replication repository

You must configure an object storage to use as a replication repository. The {mtc-full} ({mtc-short}) copies data from the source cluster to the replication repository, and then from the replication repository to the target cluster.

{mtc-short} supports the file system and snapshot data copy methods for migrating data from the source cluster to the target cluster. You can select a method that is suited for your environment and is supported by your storage provider.

The following storage providers are supported:

Prerequisites

  • All clusters must have uninterrupted network access to the replication repository.

  • If you use a proxy server with an internally hosted replication repository, you must ensure that the proxy allows access to the replication repository.
