HP Insight Control - Manual (Page 78)

•
To install server migration Source Agent on the source server, verify that PermitRootLogin and
PasswordAuthentication
are set to yes in the /etc/sshd/sshd_config file, and then verify
the sshd service is running.
•
For Linux migrations, GRUB Boot Loader is required as the primary boot loader on the source server.
NOTE: Bad blocks on Linux file systems are not supported by Insight Control. To verify that the source file
systems do not have bad blocks, run file system-specific tools.
Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites
The following prerequisites are for target virtual machine hosts in a P2V migration:
•
Select one of the following:
Let Insight Control create the virtual machine automatically, and then boot it using the Insight
Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD for virtual machines.
•
•
Create the virtual machine manually, and then boot the virtual machine manually using the Insight
Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD.
•
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 autoscans on the destination virtual machine host to prevent
interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the migration.
