SharePoint Pre-Migration Analysis

Hi Team,

I am executing Essentials for Office 365 to analyze SharePoint 2013 site collection for migration (Target environment is SharePoint Online). My site collection overall size is 900 GB.

I have installed Quest Essentials for Office 365 tool to independent VM (within network) Before starting Pre-migration analysis, I would like to take confirm, if this execution doesn't have any impact on On premise site's performance.

Can you share reference link, explaining how this tool gathering required information.

Thanks,

Hiral

  • Hi Hiral,

    When doing a premigration analysis, Essentials uses the default SharePoint APIs to read from the source information. Any impact on the performance of the On-Premises SharePoint farm would be minimal. Unfortunately, there is not any reference link regarding this.

  • Before you perform the migration, you can perform a pre-migration analysis in FLY. The pre-migration report can give a better understanding of the number and size of SharePoint but no reference link.
