Migrating to CDP Public Cloud with CMA

The following steps will guide you through how to migrate your data, metadata and workload from a CDH cluster to a CDP Public Cloud cluster.

Reviewing prerequisites before migration
Before migrating from CDH 5, CDH 6 or CDP Private Cloud Base to CDP Public Cloud, review the list of prerequisites that are required for the migration process.
Registering source clusters
To migrate from CDH to CDP Public Cloud, you need to register the CDH or CDP Private Cloud Base cluster as a source from which the data, metadata and workload will be migrated.
Scanning the source cluster
You need to scan the CDH or CDP Private Cloud Base source cluster to identify the available datasets and workloads that can be migrated. Scanning also enables you to review and resolve syntax errors that can occur after the migration.
Creating collections for migration
After scanning the source cluster, you can use collections to sort the datasets that need to be migrated to the destination cluster. Collections can also be useful to organize different types of data and workflows before migration.
Registering destination clusters
As you are migrating from CDH or CDP Private Cloud Base to CDP Public Cloud, you need to register the Public Cloud cluster as a destination to which the data, metadata, and workload will be migrated.
Migrating from source cluster to destination cluster
After registering the source and destination cluster, and labeling the scanned datasets and workloads on the source cluster, you can start the migration process.
