3 Preparing hardware for migration
Verifying hardware and operating system support
Before beginning a migration, verify that the source server operating system is supported on the
destination server or host by HP and that the operating system is supported for the migration
type selected. Because the Insight Control server migration wizard does not block migrations of
unsupported operating systems, you must verify that the selected operating system is supported
before beginning the migration. To verify if the operating system is supported on ProLiant
destination servers, see the following website:
www.hp.com/go/ossupport
Supported destination ProLiant servers with unsupported embedded controllers are not supported
by Insight Control server migration for P2P and V2P migrations.
Before starting a P2P or V2P migration, review the Insight Software Support Matrix, and verify
that the embedded storage controller and network interface card (NIC) options appear on the
supported controller list of the support matrix for the destination ProLiant server. Remove
unsupported storage and NIC controllers before performing a migration. Unsupported storage
and NIC controllers can be added back to the destination server, with proper manual
configuration, after performing a migration. The Insight Software Support Matrix can be found
at:

Verifying application station system requirements
The application station requires the following components to be installed:
• A supported Windows operating system running on physical hardware or as a Windows
guest on a supported hypervisor. For a list of supported operating systems, and CMS
hardware and software requirements and caveats see the HP Insight Software Support
Matrix at the following website:
http://www.hp.com/go/insightsoftware/docs
• Microsoft iSCSI Initiator, which you can download and install from http://www.microsoft.com
if not already available with the operating system on your application station.
• Insight Control server migration installed on an NTFS partition
• Availability of ports 51124 and 51125 (or ports specified during Insight Control installation
for agent communications and iLO booting)
• Availability of port 51127
• User account credentials with administrative rights
• Free disk space of at least 300 MB per iLO Boot, while booting a destination server for P2P
and V2P
