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.

Note down the following information about the Public Cloud cluster to complete the registration:
  • Access key and private key

    For more information about how to generate access and private key, see the Generating an API access key documentation.

  • SSH user, port, and private key
  • S3 Bucket Access, Secret Key, and credential name

    For more information about how to generate access and private key, see the Managing access keys documentation.

  1. Click See More > Register A New Destination on the homepage of Migration Assistant to register a cluster that will be used as a source for the migration.

    Alternatively, you can open the New Cluster wizard by selecting Clusters on the left navigation pane, and clicking New > Destination.

  2. Select CDP Public Cloud as Target Type.
  3. Select the Control Plane URL where the cluster is located.
  4. Provide the Access Key and Private Key of your CDP user account.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Choose the cluster based on the Cluster Name that you want to use for the migration.
    The drop-down list contains all of the existing clusters in CDP Public Cloud that you have access to.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Select the Configuration Preference based on which authentication method you prefer.
    • Choose Use existing if you want to use the SSH configuration and keys of the user running CMA server to access the hosts.
    • Choose New if you want to use a newly provided SSH key to configure Ansible automatically.
      1. Provide the SSH User and SSH Port.
      2. Copy the SSH Key to the SSH Key box or upload a .pem file containing the key.
  9. Provide the following information based on the cloud provider of your cluster:
    • S3: S3 Bucket Access Key and S3 Bucket Secret Key
    • ABFS: Client Id, Client Secret Key and Tenant Id
  10. Click Create.
The registered Public Cloud cluster is listed on the Clusters page.
Start the migration from CDH or CDP Private Cloud Base to CDP Public Cloud.
