•Connect the boot virtual disk to the 0th channel of the first IDE controller.
•The Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO is attached to the destination virtual machine.
Prerequisites for VMware ESX migration
Ensure that the following parameters are met:
•The virtual machine has at least 1024 MB of memory.
•Create the virtual machine by selecting the correct operating system being migrated.
•Create the virtual machine with at least one Flexible Network Adapter.
•Connect the network adapter to a virtual network switch that is connected to an external network.
•The Insight Control server migration virtual machine Boot CD ISO is attached to a Virtual
•Discover and configure VMware vCenter Server settings through Systems Insight Manager. For more information, see HP Insight Management Installation and Configuration Guide.
Manually creating and booting a virtual machine destination server for X2V
1.Access the virtual machine host management console provided by VMware ESX or Microsoft
2.Create a new virtual machine with sufficient disk space for migration.
3.Boot the virtual machine to the Insight Control server migration Virtual machine Boot CD ISO file. The Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO file can be found at <server migration installation
4.After the destination server or virtual machine is booted to the proper Boot CD ISO file, use the Boot CD ISO application to configure the destination server and launch the destination agent. From the Boot CD ISO application, click Help for instructions.
Automatically creating and booting a virtual destination server
To automatically create and boot a destination virtual machine using the migration wizard:
1.Run the migration wizard and complete steps 1 and 2 (choose the source server and select the volumes to migrate). In step 3 of the P2V and V2V migration wizard, identify the VM Host and then select the appropriate virtualization layer.
2.Select Auto Boot — Automatically have VM created through server migration wizard.
3.Enter the login credentials for the virtual machine host (for Microsoft
4.Configure the destination server networking by entering the static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (Optional). If there is a gateway in the network this must be entered here to ensure connectivity. When finished, click Next. Optionally, you can also select the Duplex Settings.
5.Insight Control server migration checks that the virtual machine host is licensed and then moves to the next step, where you must enter the virtual machine configuration name and map the source disks to the destination disks. When finished, click Next.
The Insight Control server migration application then connects to the virtual machine host, creates the virtual machine, and then boots up the virtual machine using the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO.
After the Boot CD Agent is launched on the provided IP address, the application station connects to the agent on the Boot CD, and the next page of the wizard appears.
