Preparing your HM-managed destination database Innovation Release

If you don't have a destination database cluster on Hybrid Manager (HM) yet, create one:

1. In the HM console, select the project where you want to create the database cluster.

2. In your project, select Create New and then Database Cluster to create a database cluster. When prompted to select a distribution, choose EDB Postgres Advanced Server.

   Note

   If you're creating an EDB Postgres Advanced Server 18 or later cluster, you must update the ssl_groups database parameter to remove the X25519 group from the default value. X25519 isn't FIPS-compliant, and Migration Portal's connection to the destination database requires FIPS.

3. In the Clusters page, select your cluster, and use the Quick Connect option to access your database from your terminal.

4. Create an empty database to use as a destination for the migration. Alternatively, you can use the default database edb_admin.

If you already have an HM-managed EDB Postgres Advanced Server database cluster, you can use it as the destination for your migration.

Before proceeding, ensure:

• The cluster uses the EDB Postgres Advanced Server distribution. If it uses a different distribution, create a new EDB Postgres Advanced Server cluster instead.
• The tables you migrate and the load generated during migration don't interfere with existing workloads on the cluster.
