Migrate GCP Ubuntu compute instance to Azure using Azure Migrate, pushinstallclient error

Question

Am trying to migrate the Ubuntu 16 compute instance from GCP to Azure using Azure Migrate.

According to documentation, we need to install UBUNTU-16.04-64_pushinstallclient.tar.gz from their Program Data repository.

When I try to run this install script

(venv) test@machine1:/tmp$ mkdir MobSvcInstaller
test@machine1:/tmp$ tar -C /tmp/MobSvcInstaller -xvf UBUNTU-16.04-64_pushinstallclient.tar.gz
pushinstallclient
(venv) test@machine1:/tmp$ cd MobSvcInstaller/
(venv) test@machine1:/tmp/MobSvcInstaller$ ls
pushinstallclient
(venv) test@machine1:/tmp/MobSvcInstaller$ sudo ./install -r MS -q
sudo: ./install: command not found
(venv) test@machine1:/tmp/MobSvcInstaller$ sudo ./pushinstallclient

(C) 2022 Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved.

/tmp/MobSvcInstaller/pushinstallclient
usage: ./pushinstallclient -c <spec file>
usage: ./pushinstallclient --reboot

According to documentation certificates should be formed here? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/tutorial-migrate-gcp-virtual-machines

Any kind of help will be appreciated!

Thanks

I think you are using the wrong files:

UBUNTU-16.04-64_pushinstallclient.tar ❌

Try untaring the following file::

Microsoft-ASR_UA_9.48.0.0_UBUNTU-16.04-64_GA_10Apr2022_Release.tar

It contains the install.sh script, which you can run with the following command:

sudo ./install -r MS -q

Also, make sure your VM kernel is compatible for the migration, based on Microsoft's reference documentation.
