Disable Anti-virus
Anti-virus scanning can significantly reduce migration performance and can potentially lead to migration failures.
The most reliable way to ensure anti-virus scanning doesn’t interfere with migration processing is to disable anti-virus on all machines performing migrations. However, we realize this can introduce security concerns that are prohibitive for many organizations.
Create Directory Exclusions
Alternatively, you can create anti-virus exclusions for the following directories:
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\ProgramData\Transend
C:\Program Files (x86)\Transend Corp\Console Services
C:\Program Files\Transend Migration Agent
C:\Program Files\Transend Migration Console
C:\Program Files (x86)\Transend Corp\Console Services
C:\Users\< username >\AppData\Roaming\Transend Migration Agent
C:\Users\< username >\AppData\Roaming\Transend Migration Console
We also recommend disabling all vulnerability scanning software, such as SPAM filtering, and any other network scanning that reduce migration performance.
