To launch Insight Control server migration from the Deploy menu, perform the following tasks:

the source server is discovered properly and that the OS type and IP address are correctly
identified.

2.

From the main wizard, select Deploy

→Server Migration Tools, and then select the appropriate

migration option.

Systems Insight Manager verifies the source server or source virtual machine.

If the selected server or virtual machine fails to satisfy the criteria to launch Insight Control

disabled, and the migration cannot proceed.
