Viewing Remote Connections – CloudM

CloudM Migrate includes tools to view the secondary servers that are connected to a primary server. Open the tool from the CloudM Migrate Service Manager (Remote Connections tab), or from the menu in the web interface.

Viewing remote connections is only available when multi-server migrations are enabled.

The tool shows the following:

All of the connected secondary servers
The status, whether the secondary is actively communicating with the primary server or whether are any issues
The uptime of the secondary service
The last time it ran a migration
The number of migrations running on each secondary

If a secondary has had difficulty communicating with the primary, the status may change to warning (if communication is temporarily unavailable) or error if the secondary is no longer available.

To open an RDP connection to a secondary server, right-click the row of the server you would like to open a session for and choose the option.

On the progress tab/page within CloudM Migrate, it is possible to see which secondary is running the migration for which user and an RDP connection can also be opened from there by right-clicking on a user row or selecting the RDP icon in the web UI. If there was a problem with a user then it can be useful to review the log files for that user which are written to the server which ran the migration for that user.
