SCMT comprises the Sangfor Cloud Migration Platform(SCMP), Migration Agent for the source system, and Bare Metal Restore for the destination VM. The functions of these three parts are as follows:

1. Sangfor Cloud Migration Platform(SCMP)

• Connect the source and destination machine and also issue the migration tasks.

• For agentless migration, connect to the source virtualization platform to obtain source virtual machine data.

• Connect to the HCI platform and call the HCI API to create the destination VM automatically.

2. Migration Agent

• It is installed on the source host or VM to connect to the SCMP and obtain the migration tasks issued by the SCMP.

• Obtain the data of the source host or VM and transfer it to the destination VM or SCMP.

3. Bare Metal Restore

• The destination VM will first boot from the bare metal and connect to the SCMP.

• Accept the migration tasks issued by the SCMP.

• Receive the data transmitted by the source host or VM, or receive the data restored by the SCMP.
