Lab answer key: Migrating Hyper-V VMs to Azure by using Azure Migrate

Note: An interactive lab simulation is available that allows you to click through this lab at your own pace. You may find slight differences between the interactive simulation and the hosted lab, but the core concepts and ideas being demonstrated are the same.

Note: You may need to install the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser. To update the Microsoft Edge browser, select the three dots (ellipsis) icon in the upper-right corner of the window. Select Help and feedback from the dropdown menu, then select About Microsoft Edge. Edge will automatically check for updates and download any available updates, once the update is downloaded, click on the Restart

Exercise 1: Prepare the lab environment

Task 1: Deploy an Azure VM by using an Azure Resource Manager QuickStart template

  1. Connect to SEA-SVR2 and then, if needed, sign in as CONTOSO\Administrator with the password Pa55w.rd.
  2. On SEA-SVR2, start Microsoft Edge, go to the 301-nested-vms-in-virtual-network Azure QuickStart template and select Deploy to Azure. (You’ll find the button Deploy to Azure in the README.md file after the list of resources created by the template.) This will automatically redirect the browser to the Hyper-V Host Virtual Machine with nested VMs page in the Azure portal.
  3. When prompted, in the Azure portal, sign in by using the credentials of a user account with the Owner role in the subscription you’ll be using in this lab.

  4. On the Hyper-V Host Virtual Machine with nested VMs page in the Azure portal, specify the following settings (Leave others with their default values.):

    Setting Value
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you are using in this lab
    Resource group the name of a new resource group AZ801-L0701-RG
    Region the name of an Azure region into which you can provision Azure VMs
    Virtual Network Name az801l07a-hv-vnet
    Host Network Interface1Name az801l07a-hv-vm-nic1
    Host Network Interface2Name az801l07a-hv-vm-nic2
    Host Virtual Machine Name az801l07a-hv-vm
    Host Admin Username Student
    Host Admin Password Pa55w.rd1234

  5. On the Hyper-V Host Virtual Machine with nested VMs page, select Review + create and then select Create.

    Note: Wait for the deployment to complete. The deployment might take about 10 minutes.

Task 2: Deploy Azure Bastion

Note: Azure Bastion allows for connection to the Azure VMs without public endpoints which you deployed in the previous task of this exercise, while providing protection against brute force exploits that target operating system level credentials.

  1. On SEA-SVR2, in the browser window displaying the Azure portal, open the Azure Cloud Shell pane by selecting the Cloud Shell button in the Azure portal.

  2. If prompted to select either Bash or PowerShell, select PowerShell.

    Note: If this is the first time you’re starting Cloud Shell and you’re presented with the You have no storage mounted message, select the subscription you are using in this lab, and then select Create storage.

  3. From the PowerShell session on the Cloud Shell pane, run the following commands to add a subnet named AzureBastionSubnet to the virtual network az801l07a-hv-vnet you created earlier in this exercise:

    $resourceGroupName = 'AZ801-L0701-RG'
$vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name 'az801l07a-hv-vnet'
$subnetConfig = Add-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig `
 -Name 'AzureBastionSubnet' `
 -AddressPrefix 10.0.7.0/24 `
 -VirtualNetwork $vnet
$vnet | Set-AzVirtualNetwork
  4. Close the Cloud Shell pane.

    Region the same Azure region to which you deployed the resources in the previous tasks of this exercise
    Tier Basic
    Virtual network az801l07a-hv-vnet
    Subnet AzureBastionSubnet (10.0.7.0/24)
    Public IP address Create new
    Public IP name az801l07a-hv-vnet-ip

    Note: The bastion must be created in the same Azure region as the virtual network.

  7. On the Review + create tab of the Create a Bastion page, select Create:

    Note: Wait for the deployment to complete before you proceed to the next task. The deployment might take about 5 minutes.

    Note: Wait for the test migration to complete. This might take about 5 minutes.

  4. In the Azure portal, in the Search resources, services, and docs text box, on the toolbar, search for and select Virtual machines and then, on the Virtual machines page, note the entry representing the newly replicated virtual machine az801l07a-vm1-test.

    Note: Initially, the virtual machine will have the name consisting of the asr- prefix and randomly generated suffix, but will be renamed eventually to az801l07a-vm1-test.

  5. In the Azure portal, browse back to the **Migration and modernization Replicating machines** page, select Refresh, and then verify that the az801l07a-vm1 virtual machine is listed with the Cleanup test failover pending status.
  6. On the **Migration and modernization Replicating machines** page, select the entry representing the az801l07a-vm1 virtual machine.
  7. On the az801l07a-vm1 replicating machines page, select Clean up test migration.
  8. On the Test migrate cleanup page, select the checkbox Testing is complete. Delete test virtual machine and then select Cleanup Test.
  9. Once the test failover cleanup job completes, refresh the browser page displaying the az801l07a-vm1 replicating machines page and note that the Migrate icon in the toolbar automatically becomes available.
  10. On the az801l07a-vm1 replicating machines page, select the Migrate link.
  11. On the Migrate page, ensure that Yes is selected in the Shutdown virtual machines and perform a planned migration with no data loss? drop-down list, and then select Migrate.
  12. To monitor the status of migration, browse back to the **Azure Migrate Servers, databases and web apps** page. In the Migration and modernization section, select the Replicating servers entry and then, on the **Migration and modernization Replicating machines** page, examine the Status column in the list of the replicating machines. Verify that the status displays the Planned failover finished status.
    Note: Migration is supposed to be a non-reversible action. If you want to see the completed information, browse back to the **Azure Migrate Servers, databases and web apps** page, refresh the page, and then verify that the Migrated Servers entry in the Migration and modernization section has the value of 1.

Task 4: Remove Azure resources deployed in the lab

  1. On SEA-SVR2, in the browser window displaying the Azure portal, open the Azure Cloud Shell pane by selecting the Cloud Shell button in the Azure portal.

  2. If prompted to select either Bash or PowerShell, select PowerShell.

    Note: If this is the first time you’re starting Cloud Shell and you’re presented with the You have no storage mounted message, select the subscription you are using in this lab, and then select Create storage.

  3. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following command to list all the resource groups you created in this lab:

    Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'AZ801-L070*'

    Note: Verify that the output contains only the resource group you created in this lab. This group will be deleted in this task.

  4. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to delete the resource group you created in this lab:

    Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'AZ801-L070*' | Remove-AzResourceGroup -Force -AsJob

    Note: The command executes asynchronously (as determined by the -AsJob parameter), so while you will be able to run another PowerShell command immediately after within the same PowerShell session, it will take a few minutes before the resource groups are actually removed.
