Application station fails to connect to the destination server when the server is
auto-booted for an X2P migration

The application station can fail to connect to the destination server when the server is auto-booted
for a P2P or V2P migration, even though the destination server boots up and the agent starts up.

Cause

This might happen if the destination server has multiple NICs connected to different networks and
the IP address gets configured to a NIC which is not on the same network as the application station
and the source server. Ensure that the duplex settings on the destination server match the duplex
settings on the network switch in your environment. You can also use the auto-negotiate option at
either end to ensure proper communication between the destination server and the network switch.

The application station might also fail to connect if you have a gateway in your network and the
gateway value is not specified in the migration wizard when identifying the destination server.

Suggested action

To resolve this issue, manually boot the destination server, and then manually assign the IP address
to the NIC that is on the same network as the application station.

To resolve the gateway issue, ensure that you enter the gateway IP address in the migration wizard
when identifying the destination server.

Migration process

Drivers cannot be installed or injected onto boot disk

This error is reported if Insight Control fails to install or inject device drivers. In most cases, additional
information is reported on the destination server.

Suggested action

Possible causes and solutions for this error include:

The boot partition was not migrated to the boot volume on the destination server. Verify that
the boot partition is selected for migration and placed on the boot volume of the destination
server.

The network connection failed during driver installation.

The destination server failed or was powered down during driver installation.

The storage controller where the boot partition was placed is not supported. For a complete
list of supported controllers, see the HP Insight Software Support Matrix at:

http://www.hp.com/go/insightsoftware/docs

.

The iSCSI initiator failed to mount the disk. To resolve this issue, reinstall the iSCSI initiator on
the application station.

Large volumes fail with server thread error

Migrating extremely large volumes (larger than 1 TB) can result in a failed migration with the
following message:

Server Migration failed. Error occurred in server thread; nested

exception is: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Suggested action

Server migration does not support the migration of volumes larger than 1023 GB. Reduce the size
of any partition exceeding this size limit before attempting migration.
