Prerequisites

Confirm you can reach every system Migration Factory talks to. You do not install OpenShift here.

What Why

What	Why
OpenShift cluster	Destination for VMs. `cluster-admin` (or equivalent) on the API. OpenShift Virtualization and MTV must already be installed. See OpenShift.
Source hypervisor	VMware vSphere or RHV URL, username, and password. VDDK image only if you are entitled to build and use one.
Ansible Automation Platform	URL plus an admin token or username and password. If AAP is not installed, use Deploying Ansible Automation Platform, which needs an AAP entitlement (service account or subscription manifest).
Execution environment	Pull access to the Migration Factory EE on Quay (`quay.io/redhat-cop/openshift-virtualization-migration-ee`). AAP uses this image for job templates after seed.
Collection source	Git access to openshift_virtualization_migration, or Automation Hub. See Sourcing the collection and execution environment.

OpenShift cluster

Destination for VMs. cluster-admin (or equivalent) on the API. OpenShift Virtualization and MTV must already be installed. See OpenShift.

Source hypervisor

VMware vSphere or RHV URL, username, and password. VDDK image only if you are entitled to build and use one.

Ansible Automation Platform

URL plus an admin token or username and password. If AAP is not installed, use Deploying Ansible Automation Platform, which needs an AAP entitlement (service account or subscription manifest).

Execution environment

Pull access to the Migration Factory EE on Quay (quay.io/redhat-cop/openshift-virtualization-migration-ee). AAP uses this image for job templates after seed.

Collection source

Git access to openshift_virtualization_migration, or Automation Hub. See Sourcing the collection and execution environment.

Automation Hub is optional unless you pull extra certified collections.

If you still need laptop tools to seed or to install AAP, see Migration Factory prerequisites. After a successful seed, later jobs run from AAP.
