Downloading and installing the appliance

The next step is to download and install the appliance in the Hyper-V environment. Therefore, we need to perform the following steps:

  1. In the Azure Migrate project overview blade, under Migration goals, select Servers.
  2. Under Assessment tools | Azure Migrate: Server Assessment, select Discover.
  3. In the Discover machines blade, under Are your machines virtualized?, select Yes, with Hyper-V. Then, click the Download button to download the appliance to your local disk:

  2. In Choose Destination, leave the default settings as-is and click Next.
  3. In Storage Folders, leave the default setting as well and click Next.
  4. In Choose Network, specify the virtual switch that the VM will use. Internet connectivity is required in order to send the data to Azure from the appliance. 
  5. In the Summary screen, review your settings and click Finish.
  6. Now that you've imported the appliance into Hyper-V, you can start the VM.
For this demonstration, I've created a couple of VMs inside the Hyper-V environment that can be used for the assessment and migration processes. You can create some VMs yourself as well.

Now, we have downloaded the appliance and imported and started the VM. In the next section, we are going to configure the appliance so that it can communicate with Azure Migrate.
