HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 15)

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
Antivirus software
For optimal performance during migration, verify that no antivirus scans are running or are scheduled to run
while the migration is performed on the application station, source server, or virtual machine hosts.
Dual-boot
In a dual-boot scenario, where one or more operating systems on the boot disk of the source server are not
supported but the operating systems exist on a supported file system, keep in mind the following:
•
A supported operating system must be set as the default operating system for the boot disk.
•
The Migration Wizard enables the migration of all partitions with supported file systems. Unsupported
operating systems on those partitions are also enabled for migration, but Insight Control does not
support them.
•
If unsupported operating systems are migrated, they might be detected, but proper drivers might not
be installed, which can leave the unsupported operating system on the destination server unbootable.
Resizing NTFS volumes for Windows migration
Under some conditions, Insight Control cannot resize New Technology File System (NTFS) partitions. Examples
include the following:
•
Large NTFS partitions, usually larger than 1 TB, or NTFS partitions with too many clusters, resulting in
large volume cluster bitmaps that cannot be resized. In some cases, the volume might be recognized
as RAW (partitions in which no file systems exist). Although Insight Control can perform migrations on
these volumes, it cannot resize the volumes.
•
Volumes with bad clusters. If an NTFS volume is detected but cannot be resized, you must run a disk
check (for example CHKDSK.exe) to verify the volume has no bad clusters before beginning the migration
process. The migration of volumes with bad clusters is not supported by Insight Control and requires
that you manually migrate volumes with bad clusters to the destination server after a migration.
File system selection for a Linux source server
Bad blocks on Linux file systems are not supported by Insight Control. To ensure that the source file system
does not have bad blocks, run file system-specific tools.
