Reboot the destination server to ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) by pressing the F9 key during Power-On
Self-Test (POST).

Select the Boot Controller Order option and verify the proper boot order for the storage controllers.

Press ESC to exit RBSU, and then press F10 to confirm the exit and to save the changes.

Reboot the destination server using the SMP Boot CD.

When the destination server boots up, the SMP Boot CD will detect the storage controller.

Migration process

Drivers cannot be installed or injected onto boot disk

This error is reported if Insight Control fails to install or inject device drivers. In most cases, additional
information is reported on the destination server. Possible causes for this error include:

The boot partition was not migrated to the boot volume on the destination server. Verify that the boot
partition is selected for migration and placed on the boot volume of the destination server.

The network connection failed during driver installation.

The destination server failed or was powered down during driver installation.

The storage controller where the boot partition was placed is not supported. For a complete list of
supported controllers, see the

.

The iSCSI initiator failed to mount the disk. To resolve this issue, reinstall the iSCSI initiator on the
application station.

Large volumes fail with server thread error

Migrating extremely large volumes (larger than 1 TB) can result in a failed migration with the following
message:

Server Migration failed. Error occurred in server thread; nested exception is:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

To resolve this issue, increase the size of the Windows paging file.

Migration fails to terminate if source server is shut down

In some network, firewall, or router configuration scenarios, Insight Control might fail to recognize that the
source server is no longer available during a migration and remain in migration mode.

In this scenario, perform the following procedure:

1.

Close Insight Control.

2.

Open the Windows Services Manager, and then restart the Insight Control application service and the
HP Insight Control server migration Web Service.

NTFS resize error message

The following message might appear during the migration of certain NTFS volumes:

The file system on source disk x, partition y could not be resized during

migration. The NTFS volume information could not be read. Retry the migration

without resizing this volume. Defragmenting the NTFS volume or performing a

"chkdsk /f" prior to the migration may resolve this condition.

The preceding message appears when Insight Control cannot process the NTFS meta information for this
volume, and the volume cannot be resized during migration.

To resolve this issue, do not resize the volume. Instead, perform a disk defragmentation or run chkdsk /f to
resolve the issue. However, performing a successful defragmentation and disk check does not guarantee the
ability to resize. In this case, the volume can only be migrated without resizing.
