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.
Check the network connections and re-establish network connectivity. If an IP address conflict
occurs when you are setting the static IP address, see the following website for more
information:
.
4.
View the Windows event log on the destination server and disable any services or drivers that
might have failed.
5.
If applicable, reassign drive letters of dynamic disk partitions by using the disk manager to
correspond with the original state. The virtual machine guest automatically detects new
hardware and installs the required drivers.
6.
The mouse and keyboard might not be immediately active on the migrated virtual machine
guest. Wait until the guest operating system automatically installs all required drivers, and
then reboot the migrated virtual machine guest when you are prompted.
7.
Edit the boot.ini file. For more information, see
“Editing the Windows boot.ini file after
migration (Windows Server 2003)” (page 43)
Editing the Windows boot.ini file after migration (Windows Server
2003)
Edit the boot.ini file to activate a graphical boot process:
1.
Remove the /bootlog and /sos options from the boot.ini file. These options are
automatically inserted during the migration process so that the boot process is logged in detail
for onscreen analysis. The active boot entry displayed during boot is highlighted, and the
original boot.ini entry appears as HP Insight Control Preserved: [name], where
[name]
is the operating system.
2.
To retain the original boot parameters, copy all valid flags from the original entry and other
appropriate boot flags as applicable, such as adding the /3GB flag (if the destination virtual
machine is configured with sufficient RAM).
3.
Delete the original (preserved) entry.

X2P postmigration tasks (Linux)
After you complete an X2P migration, perform the following steps on the destination server:
1.
Log in with administrative rights.
2.
Install the latest LSP.
3.
If necessary, verify the network connections. If NIC teaming is required on the destination
server, NIC teaming must be re-established on the destination server after the migration and
installation of the LSP.
