Source virtual machine prerequisites
If you are migrating from a source virtual machine, verify that it complies with all minimum
prerequisites as listed in
“Minimum source server prerequisites for all migrations” (page 34) .
Destination physical server prerequisites
If you are migrating to a destination physical server, verify that the following prerequisites are
completed:
•
Configure the primary storage controller with drives attached.
•
Connect and configure the NIC cards.
•
Boot the destination server to the Insight Control server migration ProLiant Boot CD ISO and
make sure that it is running the migration Agent.
•
Select the Auto Boot option in step 3 of the migration wizard. For Gen8 servers, Auto Boot
option is only supported.
Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites
If you are migrating to a destination virtual machine, verify that the following prerequisites are
completed:
•
Select one of the following:
Let Insight Control server migration create the virtual machine automatically, which will
automatically create and boot the destination virtual machine by using the server migration
Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO. ◦
◦ Create the virtual machine manually, and then boot the virtual machine manually by using
the server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO.
•
Verify that the destination virtual machine host has sufficient system resources, including
processor, memory, and disk space to host the migrated virtual machine guest.
•
Temporarily disable any antivirus software auto-scans on the destination virtual machine host
to prevent interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the
migration.
Preparing for a Linux server migration
The following sections list prerequisites for a Linux server migration.
•
If a firewall is running on the source server and Source Agent deployment is required, see
“Disabling firewalls” (page 20) .
•
Make sure that the SSH port is open when a firewall is in use, or the server migration Source
Agent might not be deployed successfully.
•
Verify compliance with all minimum prerequisites. For more information, see “Minimum source
server prerequisites for all migrations” (page 34) .
•
Make sure that the 32–bit version of glibc is installed. The 32–bit version of glibc is
required to run the Linuxserver migration Source Agent. The library is present by default on
32–bit Linux installations, but you might need to install it manually on 64–bit Linux systems.
The 32–bit version of glibc is available on your Linux OS installation CD/DVD.
•
If X–Windows is configured on the source server, make sure that the 32–bit version of the
libXtst runtime library is installed.
