X2V post-migration tasks (Linux)

After you complete an X2V migration, perform the following steps on the destination server:
1.

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.

3.

If necessary, verify the network connections.

4.

The mouse and keyboard might not be immediately active on the migrated virtual machine
guest. Wait until all required drivers are automatically installed by the guest operating system,
and reboot the migrated virtual machine guest when prompted.

Validating the migration

Validating Linux migrations

To verify that the Linux migration was successful, you can do the following:
1.

Compare the md5 checksum of the files on the migrated file-system with the checksum on the
source. The md5 checksum should match for all files except for the initrd and log files.

2.

Ensure that the operating system on the destination server boots normally without critical errors.

Validating Windows migrations

To verify that the Windows migrations was successful, you can do the following:
1.

Ensure that the operating system on the destination server boots normally without critical errors.

2.

Compare the source and the destination server to ensure that the partitions selected on the
source server are present on the destination server.
