1.8 Adding Device Drivers to the PlateSpin
Migrate X2P Device Driver Manager
PlateSpin
®
Migrate ships with the latest drivers for storage and network peripherals in supported
Dell PowerEdge servers. During V2P migration jobs, the required drivers are installed
automatically. To determine if the required drivers are available, use the PlateSpin
®
Analyzer.
If you encounter missing or incompatible drivers when you set up an X2P conversion job, you might
need to add drivers to the PlateSpin
®
Migrate driver database. Use the Device Driver Manager for
this task.
To download the latest supported drivers for your peripherals, visit the Dell Support Web site (http:/
/support.dell.com).
For more information, see the “Working with Device Drivers” topic (http://www.novell.com/
documentation/platespin_portabilitysuite_810/user/data/bgw399m.html) in your User Guide.
1.9 Pre-Migration Tasks (P2V)
If you have Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) installed on the source physical
machine, uninstall OMSA from the source or disable OMSA services before the migration. This is
required because OMSA is not supported inside a virtual machine environment. For details on how
to uninstall OMSA, see your OpenManage User Guide.
The following table lists common OMSA services that you should disable during a P2V migration.
Depending on the hardware configuration of the source server, the services might be different.
