Initial Replication
Here's an overview of the initial replication process from the on-prem PCE to the Illumio SaaS.
Initial replication of the policy objects
Important
For the list of objects that are not migrated, see Objects Not Migrated.
During this step, copies of on-prem PCE policy objects, workloads, policies, and selected configuration settings are duplicated on Illumio SaaS with the following characteristics:
Object relationships and external identifiers (names, SIDs, etc.) are maintained, while new internal identifiers (HREFs, DB IDs, etc.) are assigned on the Illumio SaaS platform.
Managed workloads are replicated as unmanaged workloads with identical names, host names, labels, and interfaces.
Unmanaged workloads are replicated with the same names, host names, labels, and interfaces.
Replication of local users, RBAC settings, container clusters, and container cluster workload profiles is optional and depends on specified options. For more details on available options, run
pcemigrate migrate --help.Only new objects are created on Illumio SaaS. If an object with the same external unique identifier already exists, it won't be replicated. Ensure that Illumio SaaS is clean before the initial replication.
The command to initiate initial replication:
migrate
> pcemigrate migrate --from-pce 4x2testvc10000 --to-pce mnctestvc26000 --no-prompt
Important
The command pcemigrate depends on the number of objects (workloads, rulesets) and their complexity.
