6 Preparing the source server and deploying the Source
Agent
Verifying Windows source server requirements
The physical or virtual Windows source server requires the following:
•
User account credentials with administrative rights
•
A supported Windows operating system. For a list of operating systems, see the HP Insight
Management Support Matrix available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/
docs .
•
Available disk space of at least 180 MB
•
The availability of ports 51125 and 51126
•
Screen resolution of at least 800 x 600
•
All detachable media removed
•
If the source server is an application station, disable the HP Insight Control server migration
Application Service and HP Insight Control server migration Web Service.
Preparing a Microsoft Hyper-V source server
If you are planning to migrate a source server with the Microsoft Hyper-V role enabled, perform
one of the following on the source server:
•
Turn off the hypervisor using bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off at a command
line.
After the migration, you can re-enable the hypervisor at a command line by using bcdedit
/set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
.
•
Remove the Microsoft Hyper-V role from the source server by using the server configuration
tools.
Verifying Linux source server requirements
The physical Linux source server requires the following:
•
User account credentials with administrative rights
•
SELinux must be running in passive mode
•
A supported Linux operating system. For a list of operating systems, see the HP Insight
Management Support Matrix at:
http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/docs
•
Available disk space of at least 10 MB on /boot and 150 MB under the directory where the
Linux server migration Source Agent has to be installed.
NOTE: When Linux Source Agent is launched remotely from the CMS, the default location
on the source server for agent installation is /root.
•
The availability of ports 51125 and 51126
•
Verify that you have removed all unused boot entries from /boot/grub/menu.lst and the
corresponding initrd from the /boot.
•
Disable any scripts that might clean up the migration agent files on reboot or shutdown. For
instance, if the agent has been deployed manually to /root, ensure that there are no scripts
which will cleanup /root on reboot/shutdown.
