4.Record the IP addresses listed for the source server entry when using Insight Control server migration.

After the application station is connected to the migration Agent on these servers, the agent is locked to the application station.

CAUTION: The agent deployment automatically opens the necessary ports in the firewall. These ports will remain open unless manually closed later using your firewall software.

5.To unlock the connection between the application station and the source server, or to stop the server migration Source Agent, access the agent console on the source server, and then click Abort and Exit.

Deploying a server migration Source Agent on domain controllers

Insight Control server migration supports migration of domain controllers.

To deploy source migration agent on a source server domain controller:

1.Reboot the server.

2.During reboot, press F8 to boot to DSRM.

3.Launch the migration agent in DSRM mode.

The migration runs in Directory Services Restore Mode instead of booting into migration agent mode. As a result, CHKDSK does not run before the migration of domain controllers.

Deploying the Linux server migration Source Agent locally on the source server

1.Access the server migration Source Agent in the following folder on the application station:

<Insight Control server migration Installation Folder>\Agents\SMP\hpsmpagent.tar.gz

2.Copy the file in this folder to the source server, and then extract the file.

3.To launch the server migration Source Agent, go to the bin folder of the extracted directory, and then execute the script startHPSMPCnt.sh. When the server migration Source Agent is ready for migration, the following screen appears on the source server.
