Installing or upgrading server migration software
Insight Control server migration software is delivered on the HP Insight software distribution media
and is installed through the Insight software Integrated Installer. The server on which you install
Insight software is designated to be the Central Management Server (CMS).
See the HP Insight Software Installation and Configuration Guide for installation and upgrade
instructions and supported upgrade paths.
See the HP Insight Software Getting Started Guide for a description of all software that is delivered
