Source physical machine prerequisites

• Verify that a valid network connection exists between the source and destination server.

• Verify that the source server must contain an active boot partition to be migrated.

• Complete any pending reboots and software installations on the source machine before initiating a

migration to prevent interrupting the migration process.

• Temporarily disable any antivirus software autoscans on the source machine to prevent interrupting the

migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the migration.

• To verify that the disks are not corrupted, run CHKDSK on the source physical machine before initiating

a migration operation.

• Verify that all hard drives on the source physical machine are correctly initialized (disk signature written).

• Verify that all partitions on the source physical machine have a valid file system and are in a healthy

state.

• Disable all applications and background services on the source machine. After the migrated machine

has synchronized with the new hardware and is assigned a unique network identity, appropriate

applications can be manually re-enabled and configured for the new environment.

• Temporarily disable HP Management Agents on the source physical machine.

• During migration, the migration agent initiates an operating system reboot on the source physical

machine. Verify that the operating system is on the first boot order. If not, then manually change the

boot order by editing the [system drive]\boot.ini file or by using the bootcfg.exe tool. The Insight Control

application supports migration of source physical machines that have operating systems installed on

the primary drive (Hard Disk0) and the primary drive loaded first in the boot order.

Destination physical machine prerequisites

• The primary storage controller must be configured with drives attached.

• The destination server must be booted to Insight Control server migration Boot CD and running migration

agent.

• Before migrating a source server with BitLocker Drive Encryption enabled and drives encrypted using

BitLocker, decrypt the drives on the source server and disable BitLocker.

• When a migration is started from a Win2003 Application station to a Win2008 source server,

migrations will be blocked in step 1 of the migration wizard. However agent launch either from the

CMS or by manual installation would be complete. In order to stop the agent on the Windows 2008

source server, manually run stopHPSMPAgent.cmd tool on the source desktop.
