After creating an asset source, run the Oracle Cloud Migrations external asset discovery.

1. Open the navigation menu and click Migration & Disaster Recovery. Under Cloud Migrations, click Discovery.
2. On the Asset sources page, from the list of asset sources, click an active asset source. The Asset source details page opens and you can view the active connectors that connect the discovery plugin with the source environment.
3. Click Run Discovery to start a discovery job by refreshing the asset source.
4. Under Resources, click Work requests and find the discovery job.
5. Wait for the Status of a work request to change to Succeeded.

You can now see a mapping between the VMs in the source environment and the discovered assets.
