Overview

The Admin Guide is for operators who install, configure, and run XMS (Xloud Migration Suite) for their organization. It covers the pieces that sit behind the end-user migration experience — service architecture, source credential design, network access, storage back-ends, and capacity planning.
If you are looking for the workflow to actually migrate a workload, start in the User Guide.
XMS requires network access from the migration workers to both the source hypervisor API and the Xloud platform services. Review the Network Ports page before onboarding a new source environment.

Topics

Architecture

How XMS is structured, how workload data flows, and how it integrates with the rest of the Xloud platform.

Prerequisites

Platform, project, quota, and identity prerequisites operators must meet before onboarding a new source.

Source Credentials

How source credentials are stored, rotated, and scoped. Includes the recommended least-privilege role for VMware sources.

Network Ports

Which ports must be reachable between XMS, source environments, Xloud services, and target guests.

Storage Back-ends

How XMS writes migrated disk data into Xloud Block Storage and the supported back-end configurations.

Capacity Planning

How to size XMS for concurrent migrations, incremental sync throughput, and multi-wave campaigns.

Troubleshooting

Operator-side diagnostics — platform health, worker availability, and service-level recovery.

User Guide

End-user workflow for register, discover, preflight, migrate, and cut over
