HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 32)

Manually creating and booting a virtual machine destination server for P2V and V2V
1. Access the virtual machine host management console provided by VMware ESX, Citrix XenServer, or
Microsoft Hyper-V.
2. Create a new virtual machine with sufficient disk space for migration.
3. Boot the virtual machine to the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD. The Insight
Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD can found in the following location on the application
station:
<Insight Control server migration Installation
Folder>\webserver\webapps\smpui\
4. After the destination virtual machine is booted to the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine
Boot CD, to launch the migration agent on the destination virtual machine, follow the steps in the
Configure Boot CD to launch destination agent section in this guide.
NOTE: When a virtual machine is booted on an HP integrated Citrix XenServer, the mouse might not work.
If this occurs, use the keyboard when navigating through the Boot CD user interface.
Automatically creating and booting a virtual destination server using the Insight
Control Migration Wizard for P2V or V2V
NOTE: The destination virtual machine should be connectable on ports 51125 and 51126 from both the
application station and the source machine.
To create and boot the destination virtual machine using the Migration Wizard, perform the following steps:
1. Run the Migration Wizard, and in step 3 of the P2V and V2V Migration Wizard, select the appropriate
Citrix XenServer
, VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or virtualization layer.
2. Enter the login credentials for the virtual machine host.
3. Select Boot VM Automatically, and then enter the IP address details for the virtual machine. This
IP address is assigned to the agent running on the virtual machine and is used for the migration.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter the virtual machine configuration details in step 4 of the migration, and then click Next.
The Insight Control server migration application connects to the virtual machine host, creates the virtual
machine, and then boots up the virtual machine using the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine
Boot CD.
After the Boot CD Agent is launched on the provided IP address, the application station connects to the
agent on the Boot CD, and the next page of the wizard appears.
6. If the application is unable to connect to the destination virtual machine, return to step 3 of the Migration
Wizard, and then manually create a virtual machine. To specify the IP address of the destination virtual
machine, select Destination VM is already booted with Boot CD, and then continue with the migration.
NOTE: If you cancel VM booting or if it fails, the Insight Control application station does not delete the
virtual machine. Using the VM Host Management console, you can delete the virtual machine manually.
Configure Boot CD to launch destination agent
After the destination server or virtual machine is booted to the proper Boot CD, perform the following steps:
1. Select the keyboard language to use, and then click Next.
