X2V post-migration tasks (Linux)

After you complete a P2V migration, perform the following steps on the destination server:

If you manually booted the virtual machine using the Insight Control server migration
Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO, you must disconnect the Insight Control server migration
Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO and then manually reboot or shut down the virtual machine.

2.

Perform a network configuration for the migrated virtual machine guest. To do so, access
the destination virtual machine host remote console to configure the network connections
for the migrated virtual machine guest.

3.

(Optional) Add a CD-ROM component to the destination virtual machine. The CD-ROM
might be required to install additional Integrated Components.

After the virtual machine reboots, you must perform the following steps on the destination virtual
machine guest for hypervisors.

1.

Modify the system host name.

2.

Install the proper Guest tools.

guest. Wait until all required drivers are automatically installed by the guest operating
system, and reboot the migrated virtual machine guest when prompted.
