Mission Control migration toolkit
Mission Control is an infrastructure management platform that you can use to manage your Apache Cassandra®-based clusters, including Cassandra, DSE, and HCD clusters.
Mission Control isn’t required, but it can be helpful depending on your preferences for infrastructure management. Additionally, Mission Control isn’t applicable to Astra DB, which has its own interface for database management and administration.
Migrate clusters to Mission Control
Cluster migration moves your entire cluster from one infrastructure to another, including its data. It is meant as an infrastructure migration only, not a database software migration.
If you are migrating both your infrastructure and your database software, create your new cluster in Mission Control, and then use DataStax migration tools to migrate your data from your old cluster directly to the new cluster on Mission Control.
For information about migrating your infrastructure only to Mission Control, see the following:
