Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites
If migrating to a destination virtual machine, verify that the following prerequisites are complete:
•
Select one of the following:
Let Insight Control server migration create the virtual machine automatically, which will
automatically create and boot the destination virtual machine using the server migration
Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO. ◦
◦ Create the virtual machine manually, and then boot the virtual machine manually using
the server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO.
•
Verify that the destination virtual machine host has sufficient system resources, including
processor, memory, and disk space to host the migrated virtual machine guest.
•
Temporarily disable any antivirus software auto-scans on the destination virtual machine host
to prevent interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the
migration.
Preparing for a Linux server migration
The following sections list prerequisites for a Linux server migration.
•
If a firewall is running on the source server and Source Agent deployment is required, see
“Disabling firewalls” (page 19) .
•
Ensure that the SSH port is open when a firewall is in use or the server migration Source Agent
may not be deployed successfully.
•

CD/DVD.
•
