Manual data import overview

If you don't want to install and run the discovery client in your infrastructure, you can manually upload your infrastructure data into Migration Center.

This page helps you to choose which manual import method is best for you.

Manual import methods

To manually import your infrastructure data in Migration Center, you perform two steps:

  1. Create the data about your infrastructure with one of the available methods.
  2. Upload the data to the Migration Center portal where it is further processed and analyzed.

To create the data, use the following methods:

  • If your infrastructure is hosted on other cloud providers, such as AWS or Azure, use automated scripts to generate a compressed ZIP file that contains all the information about your infrastructure, including assets specifications, performance and utilization data.
  • To manually fill in information about your infrastructure, use the templates provided in the Google Cloud Migration Center portal.
  • To import data from your VMware assets, use RVTools to gather the data and import it in the Google Cloud Migration Center portal.

The following pages explain how to create and upload data to Migration Center using these different methods.

Limitations

Regardless of the method you use to import your infrastructure data into Migration Center, you can create a maximum of 100,000 assets per project.
