Page 47: Source server identification fails, Cause suggested action
Launching server migration from Systems Insight Manager throws an exception
When launching server migration through Systems Insight Manager, an exception may be thrown.
Cause
The source server is not discovered properly in Systems Insight Manager.
Suggested action
Ensure that the source server is discovered properly in Systems Insight Manager with the OS type
and IP address correctly identified. You can manually edit the source server node in Systems Insight
Manager to set correct values for these attributes. You can also try launching a server migration
by using a different, but properly discovered source server and then changing the IP address to
your source server in the first step of the server migration wizard.

Corrective action is required before this server can be migrated
The following message appears when an affected system is detected while launching the source
server agent:
ATTENTION:Corrective action is required before this server can be
migrated.
Cause
Some versions of Windows Server 2003 that are pre-installed by HP cannot be migrated successfully
unless corrective action is performed before attempting the migration. Affected systems are detected
by the server migration Source Agent during initialization. If the system is affected, instructions for
performing the corrective action are provided. If you attempt the migration without first performing
the corrective action, your destination server becomes non-bootable.
NOTE:
The server migration source agent will not detect whether the corrective action has already
been performed. Subsequent attempts to execute this agent will indicate that corrective action is
still required. However, the corrective action needs to be applied only once.
Suggested action
Resolution
1.
Cancel the migration agent execution.
2.
In the command prompt window, change to the root directory of the Windows disk.
3.
Run the following command: SFC /SCANNOW. This command might take several minutes. For
more information about this command, see the following website:
Source server identification fails
The source server identification fails during the first step of the migration wizard.
Suggested action
1.
Verify the identifier entered. If the name is entered for a source server that is in a domain, be
sure that the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is entered.
2.
Verify that the migration agent has been installed on the identified source server. For more
information about running the migration agent, see the Insight Control server migration online
help.
