# Cancel a migration session

Unisphere supports a migration application to provide a method for migrating data from a source storage system to a target storage system.

## Prerequisites

See Roles and associated permissions to determine the user roles that can perform this task.

There are two cancel options. Unisphere chooses one of the options depending on the migration session state.

The "Cancel without the revert flag" set operation requires the state of the migration session to be: Created, CreateFailed, or CutoverReady.

The "Cancel with the revert flag" set operation requires the state of the migration session to be: Migrating or CutoverSync.
