In order to migrate or DR sync Windows Server 2022 workloads, an additional patch is needed on top of the RMM. The steps to take in order to sync Windows Server 2022 workloads are described in this article.
The steps are as follows:
1. Verify that you are running RMM version 7.4.1.4 or later, but NOT 7.4.5.6 or later - This document is not applicable for v7.4.5.6 or later, as the build includes Support for Win22K for SYNC/AutoProvision
2. As a 'root' user on the RMM CLI, copy the attached patch file 'server_2022.patch' onto RMM under /opt/rackware/ and change 'dir' to point to it using command:
cd /opt/rackware/
3. With cd to /opt/rackware/, provide permissions for this file to allow for execution, by running this command:
'chmod 755 /opt/rackware/server_2022.patch' (without quotes).
4. On the RMM CLI as a 'root' user run this command to apply the patch:
'patch -p1 < /opt/rackware/server_2022.patch' (without quotes).
You can now run Stage-1 syncs or run Stage-2 syncs for an existing target.
5. A custom image is necessary in order to Auto-Provision a target.
If migrating to OCI, you can use the custom image for Windows Server 2022 provided by Oracle.
You can get the images provided by OCI by clicking on this link: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/images/
Once clicking that link, from the side-menu, goto Windows Server 2022 VM > Click on the first link for Windows-Server-2022-Standard-Edition-VM. This will open a new page displaying the Image OCID for regions.
Copy the Image OCID for the region your target is located at on notepad.
6. On the RMM GUI, Navigate to OCI Options and provide the OCI Image OCID that you copied on the notepad.
7. You can now Auto-provision the target.
