Differentiating agentless and agent-based servers

Differentiating agentless and agent-based servers - Application Migration Service

You can differentiate an agentless vCenter VM that's replicating through snapshot shipping and an agent-based server (from any source infrastructure) through several ways:

  1. On the Source servers page, under the Replication type column, the Application Migration Service console identifies the replication type, whether it is through Snapshot shipping (agentless) or Agent based.

  2. In the server details view, under the Migration dashboard, agentless servers that are replicated through snapshot shipping have an additional Lifecycle step – Not started.

  3. Similarly, in the server details view, under the Migration dashboard, the Data replication status box shows the Replication type as Snapshot shipping.
