3 Preparing hardware for migration
Verifying hardware and operating system support
Before you start any X2P (P2P or V2P) migration, verify the following:
•
The source server operating system is supported on the destination server. To verify OS support
on ProLiant destination servers, see the following website:
•
For the supported hardware and software configurations of server migration, see HP Insight
Management Support Matrix available at:
Remove unsupported storage and NIC controllers from the destination server before you perform
a migration. Unsupported storage and NIC controllers can be added back on the destination
server, with proper manual configuration, after a migration.
Verifying system requirements for the application station
The application station has the following prerequisites:
•
A supported Windows operating system running on physical hardware or as a Windows
guest on a supported hypervisor. For a list of supported operating systems, and CMS hardware
and software requirements and caveats, see HP Insight Management Support Matrix at the
following website:
•
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, which you can download and install from
if it is not already available with the operating system on your application station.
•
Insight Control server migration installed on an NTFS partition.
•
Availability of ports 51124 and 51125 (or ports specified during Insight Control installation
for agent communications and HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) booting).
•
Availability of port 51127.
•
User account credentials with administrative rights.
•
Free disk space of at least 600 MB per iLO boot, while booting a destination server for P2P
and V2P.
•
The initial installation of Insight Control server migration can take 1 GB of storage space, and
each automatically booted destination server will need at least 600 MB of storage space on
the application station .
NOTE:
Before running migration of Windows 2008 SP2 to Smart Array controllers, delete the
following files located in the IC Server Migration Installation base>\log folder:
dismlogs.txt.pkgmgr
dismlogs.txt.pkgmgr.dpx
dismlogs.txt.pkgmgr.perf
