Portability Suite enables you to manage the network identity and domain registration of your conversion target workload and specify related preferences as part of a conversion job. By default, a job is configured to preserve a source workload’s network identity and domain registration. You can modify the default configuration to suit the objectives of your conversion job.
Proper configuration of conversion target’s network identity is especially important when you are migrating a workload to a different domain, planning to take it off a domain, or if you intend to change the hostname of a workload while it is in the domain.
To configure a target workload’s network identity options:
In Advanced mode: In the Conversion Job window, under the Network Configuration section, click
.In Wizard mode: In the wizard’s navigation pane, click
Configuration options vary depending on whether the target machine is Windows or Linux.
Use these settings to configure the network identity of your target Windows workload (in either Wizard or Advanced mode).
Use these settings to configure the network identity of your target Linux workload (in either Wizard or Advanced mode) and DNS server addresses as required (Advanced mode).
