Overview
The Admin Guide is for operators who install, configure, and run nxtMove (NxtSight 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.
Topics
Architecture
How nxtMove is structured, how workload data flows, and how it integrates with
the rest of the NxtSight 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 nxtMove, source environments, NxtSight
services, and target guests.
Storage Back-ends
How nxtMove writes migrated disk data into NxtSight Block Storage and the
supported back-end configurations.
Capacity Planning
How to size nxtMove for concurrent migrations, incremental sync throughput,
and multi-wave campaigns.
Troubleshooting
Operator-side diagnostics — platform health, worker availability, and
service-level recovery.
