Booting a physical destination server automatically using the migration wizard

1.Identify the source server and select volumes to migrate in steps 1 and 2 in the server migration wizard.

2.In step 3 of the P2P or V2P migration wizard, select Auto Boot - Let server migration boot the destination server.

3.Enter the iLO IP address and iLO credentials.

4.Enter the static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (if needed). If there is a gateway in the network, enter it here to ensure connectivity. Optionally, you can also select the Duplex Settings.

5.Click Next.

6.To view the boot progress, click Launch iLO, and then log in to the iLO Remote Console.

iLO boot prerequisites

The following requirements must be met to use the boot from iLO feature:

•The iLO user credentials provided must have Virtual Power and Reset and Virtual Media access applied.

•The browser must be configured to support HTTP 1.1. To add this support:

1.On your web browser, open Internet Options, and then select the Advanced tab.

2.As appropriate, select Use HTTP 1.1 and Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections .

•An iLO Advanced license must be applied to the destination server iLO.

•At least 300MB of free space must exist on the application station for each iLO boot. This free space should exist on the partition on which Insight Control server migration is installed. This space is recovered once the migration is complete or the boot job times out.

After the destination server is booted to the proper Boot CD ISO, use the Boot CD application to configure the destination server and launch the destination agent. From the Boot CD application, click Help for instructions.

If the migration is not started within two hours of the server being powered up through iLO, the server migration will time-out and power down the destination server.

Manually creating and booting a virtual destination server

Prerequisites for manually creating and booting a destination virtual machine

This section lists the prerequisites for manually creating a virtual machine for different migrations.

To manually create and boot a destination virtual machine, you must create the virtual machine with the prerequisites specified, and then attach the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO to the virtual machine.

The following sections list the special steps required to prepare virtual machines for boot to the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO.

Ensure that the following parameters are met:

•The virtual machine does not have more than three disks attached.

•The virtual machine has at least 1024 MB of memory.

•The network adapter is a legacy network adapter.

•Connect the network adapter to a virtual network switch that is connected to an external network.

•Attach the virtual disks that you create to an IDE controller.
