Can i use Azure Migrate tool to migrate IBM MQ from on-premise to azure cloud

Question

We plan to migrate our on-premise MQ servers hosted in VMware servers to azure VM. Can I use the Azure Migrate tool to migrate IBM MQ from on-premise to Azure cloud

Answer 1

Azure Migrate can be used as a Migration tool for any on-premises VMs running on VMWare/Hyper-V as well as for physical servers provided, they are running on azure supported operating system.

Here is a list of supported OS for migrating VMs to azure under azure Migrate. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-support-matrix-vmware-migration#vm-requirements-agentless https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/migrate-support-matrix-vmware-migration#vm-requirements-agent-based

Note: There are 2 different ways you can replicate the VMs, agent-based and agent-less for details refer to:

1. Azure Migrate agentless migration of VMware virtual machines
2. Agent-based migration architecture

Please note azure migrate replicates the disks from on-premises to azure and during migration phase the VM is created using the replicated disks. Any additional configuration for your application inside the VMs needs to be taken care separately.
