AGENTS.md

This folder contains the VMware/vCenter + MigrateOps runbook for CDS MCP workflows.

Workspace Layout

• README.md
  • top-level navigation
• docs/vmware-migrateops-guide.md
  • authoritative VMware compute migration workflow
• docs/vm-lookup-and-assignment.md
  • VM lookup, datastore reporting, and FC/disk assignment workflow
• docs/cmc-install-reference.md
  • CMC install, uninstall, and reinstall fallback reference
• docs/run-learnings.md
  • run-specific learnings only when a run adds new information
• templates/vmw.yaml
  • base template for MIGRATEOPS_VMWARE_COMPUTE operations
• artifacts/logs/
  • runtime log artifacts kept separate from operator guidance

Source Of Truth

• Use docs/vmware-migrateops-guide.md for how to execute VMware compute migration runs.
• Use docs/vm-lookup-and-assignment.md for VM lookup responses and FC/disk assignment requests.
• Use docs/cmc-install-reference.md for CMC install/uninstall commands and fallback reinstall notes.
• Use templates/vmw.yaml as the starting operation template.
• Treat docs/run-learnings.md as evidence/history, not baseline procedure.

Required Run Pattern

1. Confirm source VM in vCenter and power state before IP/SSH actions.
2. Prepare source host (CDC cleanup + CMC reinstall/registration) and verify source is connected in CDC. This applies to Windows sources too; do not skip project cleanup just because SSH + PowerShell works.
3. Validate preflight requirements from docs/vmware-migrateops-guide.md.
4. Create MigrateOps from templates/vmw.yaml with request-specific replacements.
5. Monitor continuously and auto-approve cutover unless the user requests manual approval.
6. After terminal state:

• validate destination login,
• archive operation,
• run offline-host cleanup loop until source/helper cleanup conditions are satisfied,
• provide final read-only status listing for source/destination/access/helper across CDC and vCenter.

7. Ask the user explicitly before deleting the destination VM; never delete without same-run confirmation.

Environment Defaults

• vCenter: 192.168.0.201
• Cluster scope: QACL-ATVMCypressONLY unless user overrides
• Default CDC project: Skidamarink
• Default access node: atvm-linux-h2h
• Default ATVM target reference: 192.168.3.191
• For Windows ATVM guest execution, prefer SSH + PowerShell with ATVM_WINDOWS_TARGET_USER and ATVM_WINDOWS_TARGET_PASSWORD.

Update Rules

• Update docs/vmware-migrateops-guide.md only when migration workflow/default behavior changes.
• Update docs/vm-lookup-and-assignment.md only when lookup/assignment workflow behavior changes.
• Update docs/cmc-install-reference.md only when install or reinstall reference behavior changes.
• Update docs/run-learnings.md only when a run reveals a new learning/failure pattern/required check.
