DrKuhlmanI'm seeing the same thing in our lab test and struggling to see where it is going wrong. Did you ever get this resolved?

 

Thanks,

Hmmm - weirdly worked when I tried it again tonight without changing anything, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hi HidMov - just replied to your first post, I'm glad you were able to get a successful Cutover - with no changes - very interesting. Did you go in and restart the process from the Cutover phase, and it just worked?

     

    We may try again on another smaller server, if we do, I'll share my experience.

    Meanwhile, I've got several more servers to get done in the near future, so I'm proceeding using old-school manual methods for now.

     

    Thanks for sharing though!

      Hi DrKuhlman 

       

      I started the process over again and it just worked. Only difference was the Orcestrator server and the source/destination servers had gone through a reboot. I've since run the process again on fresh VM's and it worked right the way through except it didn't re-IP the destination to the source IP, but I've raised that as a separate query. Best of luck when you try SUS again!
