Troubleshooti ng

Here are a few tips you need to consider when migrations are not working smoothly:

 Velostrata Manager VM hast to have access to HTTP and HTTPS.


 VPN Tunnel has to have the appropriate firewall rules to allow the connection.
 Make sure you have enough quota for storage in the GCP project.
 Make sure the subnets can communicate with each other.
 You can always confirm what’s happening using Stackdriver logs.
 You can also see the activities page in GCP for any other error as in the quota when
Velostrata tries to create a new VM or something similar.
 For Linux VMs, you have to install the Velostrata prep package. Otherwise, the VMs in
GCP won’t be able to initiate.
 Migrating AWS EC2 instances to GCP didn’t work; when instances were initiating in
GCP, there was always an error when booting.
