Verify that necessary ports are open on the application station, source servers (physical or virtual) and
destination servers (physical or virtual machines or virtual machine hosts).

NOTE:

Insight Control uses the following encryption types:

SSL RSA with RC4 128 MD5


SSL RSA with RC4 128 SHA

TLS RSA with AES 128 CBC SHA cipher suites

Static certificates are used when you install the server migration Source Agent manually on the source or
destination server. However, dynamic certificates are generated and used when you automatically boot the
destination server or when you remotely deploy the server migration Source Agent from the CMS. HP
recommends that you automatically boot the destination server or remotely deploy the server migration
Source Agent from the CMS.

Microsoft DNS Server might not map the host name to DHCP-generated IP addresses

If you use DHCP on the VMware ESX host, the Microsoft DNS server might not map the host name to
DHCP-generated IP addresses. To connect to the server, use the DHCP-generated IP address, or assign a
static IP address for the server.

Source preparation

Corrective action is required before migrating some preinstalled HP Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 operating systems

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.

Some versions of Windows Server 2003 that are preinstalled 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, and a license is consumed.
