View a Threat Defense Migration Job

You can check the migration dashboard to view the status of all migration jobs initiated from the CDO. You can expand a specific job to see the status of individual devices associated with that tenant. This helps you keep track of the progress of your migration and identify any issues that need to be addressed.

If you have set up alerts for device workflows, click on the notifications icon to see any alerts that have been triggered during the migration process. Additionally, if you have subscribed to receive email notifications from CDO, you will also receive an email notification regarding any alerts.

When a migration job is successful, you have 14 days to evaluate your devices using CDO. During this period, you can modify or change specific actions or change the management of these devices back to the management center.

We recommend committing the devices manually if you are convinced with the migration changes. CDO auto-commits the changes after the evaluation period expires without requiring further action from you. The commit action applies the changes to devices. See Commit Migration Changes Manually to Cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center.

Once the changes are committed, you can't revoke the actions that are specified in the window.

Important

Changes can be made and deployed to the device using CDO in the evaluation period. If you decide to switch the device management back to the management center, any CDO-specific changes that were made during the evaluation period will not be saved on the device once it is reverted to the source CDO tenant. You must deploy the changes from the on premise management center to the device after reverting its manager.

  • Name: Represents the job name which shows the management center name and the date and time when the job was initiated.

  • Number of FTDs: Shows the total number of devices that are being migrated to the cloud.

  • Status: Shows the status of the job. Expand the job to see the status of individual devices.

    When a job is completed successfully, the FTD Migration job is successful message appears in the Status column. You can click the tooltip to see the number of days remaining for evaluating the manager.

    You can click Commit Migration Changes to commit the changes manually before the 14 days evaluation period ends.

  • Last Update: Shows the date and time that are updated only when a change is made to the device.

  • Actions:

After a successful migration, CDO deploys the configuration to the device. If the system identifies errors or warnings in the changes to be deployed, it displays them in the Validation Messages window. To view complete details, click the arrow icon before the warnings or errors. If the deployment fails, see the Best Practices for Deploying Configuration Changes section of Firepower Management Center Device Configuration Guide X.Y.

Important

During the 14-day evaluation period, you cannot delete a device or an OnPrem FMC from CDO. Do one of the following and then delete the device or OnPrem FMC:

Configure Relam Sequence for Identity Policy

If the device contains an identity policy with a Realm or ISE configuration, configure your device as a proxy for CDO to communicate with the identity source. The identity policies don't function if CDO fails to connect to the Identity Realms.

A tooltip appears in the Status column for a device that requires additional configuration.

  1. Click the tooltip icon and then click Learn more.

  2. In the Configure Proxy window, click Configure my realms.

    To add a proxy sequence, see the Create a Proxy Sequence section in the Firepower Management Center Device Configuration Guide, 7.2.
