To identify server and application dependencies, you need to analyze the network connectivity data, port connections, system, and process information on the hosts. Depending on your tool, you can visualize all the contacts from a server to identify its dependencies, or you can run queries to list all the servers running a specific process, using a particular port, or talking to a specific host.
To group your servers and applications for migration scheduling, you need to identify patterns in your host configurations. Often, some prefixes are embedded in the server hostnames to signify their association with a particular workload, business unit, application, or requirement. Some environments might also use tags and other metadata to associate such details with the host.
To right-size your target environment, you can analyze the performance metrics for your servers and applications:
- If a server is over-provisioned, you can revise your right-size mapping information...
