Installing and configuring server migration software
Installing or upgrading server migration software
HP Insight Control server migration software is delivered on the HP Insight Management distribution
media and is installed through the Insight Management Integrated Installer. The server on which
you install Insight Management is designated to be the Central Management Server (CMS).
See the HP Insight Management Installation and Configuration Guide for installation and upgrade
instructions and supported upgrade paths.
See the HP Insight Management Getting Started Guide for a description of all software that is
delivered on the Insight Management distribution media.
Licensing server migration
The standard procedure for licensing Insight Control server migration is to purchase and apply
Insight Control licenses. So if your destination server is licensed by Insight Control 6.0 or above,
you can perform unlimited migrations to the Insight Control licensed server.
