Virtual Agents are used for Assessment, Sizing and Planning. The following steps give an example of using two Virtual Agents. One Origin Windows NBU server, and a Destination Linux NBU server.


Step 1

Using a Web-browser navigate to the appliance's IP address, and log in as the user admin.

Step 2

Add a new Virtual Environment, by using any IP address in the range of 127.0.0.0. In our example, we have used IP address of 127.0.2.1.

Step 5

Copy the generated ZIP/TGZ file to the target system and run.

Use this link Using Recorder for a list of steps on how to run Recorder.

Step 6

Once TZM_Recorder finishes analysing the system, all information will be saved to a ZIP file which can be uploaded to the Tranzman Appliance.

Upload the ZIP file to the relevant Virtual Server from the Web-Browser by selecting the upload button, highlighted in the image below.

After the upload completes, resume the Agent by clicking on the [ > || ] icon. The Appliance will then play back the recording, and process the data ready to use for assessment.
