Suggested action

The server migration Source Agent uses a 32–bit Java Runtime Environment. In 64–bit RHEL, the Linux source migration agent window does not appear, although the agent is running. To enable the display of the agent, you must install the X.Org X11 libXtst runtime library, libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm.

Incorrect LUN size is detected in step 2 of the migration wizard

If the size of the source LUN detected during step 2 of the migration wizard is incorrect, you might be attempting to initialize the LUN by using GPTs.

Cause

LUNs initialized with GPTs are not supported, even if they contain partitions with filesystems that server migration supports. Those partitions appear as RAW partitions in the migration wizard, and data might be incomplete after the migration.

Suggested action

Deselect LUNs initialized with GPTs in step 2 of the migration wizard, and manually copy data on GPT disks after the migration.

Migrating a source server fails with the Microsoft Hyper-V role enabled

If you are trying to migrate a source server with the Microsoft Hyper-V role enabled, you must make sure that certain preconditions are met.

Suggested action

Perform any one of the following on the source server:

Turn off the hypervisor by using the following command: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

After the migration, you can re-enable the hypervisor by using the following command: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

Remove the Microsoft Hyper-V role from the source server.
