1. 1. In **Assessment properties** > **Target Properties**:
74+
75+
- In **Target location**, specify the Azure region to which you want to migrate.
76+
- Size and cost recommendations are based on the location that you specify.
77+
- The **Storage type** is defaulted to **vSAN**. This is the default storage type for an AVS private cloud.
78+
- In **Reserved Instance**, specify whether you want to use reserve instances for Azure VMware Solution nodes when you migrate your VMs.
79+
- If you decide to use a reserved instance, you can't specify **Discount (%)**.
80+
- [Learn more](../azure-vmware/reserved-instance.md) about reserved instances.
81+
1. In **VM Size**:
82+
- The **Node type** is defaulted to **AV36**. Azure Migrate recommends the node of nodes needed to migrate the servers to AVS.
83+
- In **FTT setting, RAID level**, select the Failure to Tolerate and RAID combination. The selected FTT option, combined with the on-premises server disk requirement, determines the total vSAN storage required in AVS.
84+
- In **CPU Oversubscription**, specify the ratio of virtual cores associated with one physical core in the AVS node. Oversubscription of greater than 4:1 might cause performance degradation, but can be used for web server type workloads.
85+
- In **Memory overcommit factor**, specify the ratio of memory over commit on the cluster. A value of 1 represents 100% memory use, 0.5 for example is 50%, and 2 would be using 200% of available memory. You can only add values from 0.5 to 10 up to one decimal place.
86+
- In **Dedupe and compression factor**, specify the anticipated dedupe and compression factor for your workloads. The actual value can be obtained from on-premises vSAN or storage config and this may vary by workload. A value of 3 would mean 3x so for a 300GB disk only 100GB storage would be used. A value of 1 would mean no dedupe or compression. You can only add values from 1 to 10 up to one decimal place.
87+
1. In **Node Size**:
88+
- In **Sizing criteria**, select if you want to base the assessment on static metadata, or on performance-based data. If you use performance data:
89+
- In **Performance history**, indicate the data duration on which you want to base the assessment
90+
- In **Percentile utilization**, specify the percentile value you want to use for the performance sample.
91+
- In **Comfort factor**, indicate the buffer you want to use during assessment. This accounts for issues like seasonal usage, short performance history, and likely increases in future usage. For example, if you use a comfort factor of two:
92+
93+
**Component** | **Effective utilization** | **Add comfort factor (2.0)**
94+
--- | --- | ---
95+
Cores | 2 | 4
96+
Memory | 8 GB | 16 GB
97+
98+
1. In **Pricing**:
99+
- In **Offer/Licencing program**, [Azure offer](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/offer-details/) you're enrolled in is displayed. The assessment estimates the cost for that offer.
100+
- In **Currency**, select the billing currency for your account.
101+
- In **Discount (%)**, add any subscription-specific discounts you receive on top of the Azure offer. The default setting is 0%.
