Part I Overview and concepts This part focuses on conceptual information that will help to understand the product. It does not include information on how to use server migration.
1 Server migration introduction Overview HP Insight Control server migration provides an automated, accurate, and affordable way to migrate existing servers running Microsoft Windows or Linux and their content to the latest HP ProLiant server technologies or the latest virtualization platforms from VMware and Microsoft.
Table 1 Related products (continued) Product Description settings, so that each computing device is maintained in the right configuration. Insight Control server deployment Facilitates the installation, configuration, and deployment of large server volumes through a GUI-based or a web–based console, using scripting or imaging technology. Server configuration time decreases so that you can quickly scale server deployments to large volumes.
2 Server migration concepts Server migration components The Insight Control server migration environment consists of the following required components: • Application station—The computer from which the migration is set up and performed. This can be either a physical machine or a Windows guest on a supported hypervisor. In earlier versions of HP Insight Management, the standalone installation of Insight Control server migration software was enabled.
HP Insight Control server migration software tabs Figure 1 Migration screen The Insight Control server migration software screen has the following tabs: • Migration Wizard This tab enables you to perform the Insight Control server migration.
• Upload Drivers This tab displays the status of iSCSI Initiator and DISM installed on the server and provides the option to upload HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) executable files and HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) ISO images. This tab also displays the installation status of DevCon and provides the option to upload the DevCon binary. For more information about this tab, see “Uploading drivers” (page 35).
Part II Premigration tasks This part of the guide assists you in collecting information to prepare for a migration, and covers steps 1 and 2 of the checklist provided in “Migration checklist” (page 13).
3 Preparing hardware for migration Verifying hardware and operating system support Before you start any X2P (P2P or V2P) migration, verify the following: • The source server operating system is supported on the destination server. To verify OS support on ProLiant destination servers, see the following website: http://www.hp.com/go/ossupport • For the supported hardware and software configurations of server migration, see HP Insight Management Support Matrix available at: http://www.hp.
4 Planning the migration Planning a migration strategy One challenge in migrating operating systems, applications, and data is modifying the migrated operating system to boot on the destination server and to function properly on the hardware. Insight Control server migration makes the required operating system changes for you. To best prepare for a migration, consider developing a migration strategy before you run a migration.
RAW (partitions in which no file systems exist). Although server migration can perform migrations on these volumes, it cannot resize the volumes. • Volumes that have bad clusters. Server migration does not support the migration of volumes that have bad clusters. You must manually migrate volumes that have bad clusters to the destination server after a migration. If an NTFS volume is detected but cannot be resized, you must run a disk check (for example, CHKDSK.
5 Preparing software for migration Verifying licenses for software to be migrated Before you perform a migration, review all hardware, operating system, and application licenses on the source server and acquire all valid licenses necessary for the destination server. Some hardware, software, and OS license agreements might require you to purchase a new license for the destination server. IMPORTANT: Servers that have Windows OEM licenses are not supported for migration.
Figure 2 TCP ports in use during migration NOTE: Insight Control uses the following encryption types: • SSL RSA with RC4 128 MD5 • SSL RSA with RC4 128 SHA • TLS RSA with AES 128 CBC SHA cipher suites. To enable the support of AES 256 and FIPS 140-2 cipher suites on server migration with strong cipher, use the utility: /bin/cipherutil.
Installing Service Pack for ProLiant SPP contains sets of drivers and firmwares for the latest ProLiant Gen8 destination servers to get it updated after the migration • For Windows X2P migrations, upload the SPP you plan to use on the Upload Drivers tab of the server migration UI and it will be automatically installed at the end of Windows X2P migration.
Part III Migration This part of the guide contains information related to steps 3 through 5 of the checklist provided in “Migration checklist” (page 13), and methods for manually completing some the steps of the migration wizard. Remember, this guide does not describe each of the steps in specific detail. You can find specific information in the online help.
6 Preparing the source server and deploying the Source Agent Verifying Windows source server requirements The physical or virtual Windows source server requires the following: • Local system administrator account. • A supported Windows operating system. For a list of operating systems, see HP Insight Management Support Matrix at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/docs. • Available disk space of at least 180 MB. • The availability of ports 51125 and 51126.
• To enable the display of the Linux source server agent in 64–bit RHEL, installation of the X.Org X11 libXtst runtime library libXtst-1.0.99.2-3.el6.i686.rpm. • The 32-bit version of glibc to run the Linux server migration Source Agent. The library is present by default on 32-bit Linux installations, but you might need to install it manually on 64-bit Linux systems. The 32-bit version of glibc is available on your Linux OS installation CD/DVD.
Use one of the following methods. For additional information on these procedures, see the server migration online help. • • HP Systems Insight Manager ◦ Click Deploy→Deploy Drivers, Firmware and Agents→Install server migration Agent. ◦ By using the Quick Launch feature, select a source server, hover your mouse over the Quick Launch link, and then select Install server migration agent.
Figure 4 Server migration agent install screen When the server migration Source Agent is ready for migration, the following screen appears on the source server.
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 you manually close them later by using your firewall software. 5.
Figure 7 Linux Source Agent screen NOTE: 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. 4. Record the IP addresses listed for the source server. CAUTION: 5. The agent deployment automatically stops the firewall and disables SELinux. After the application station is connected to the migration agent on these servers, the agent is locked to the application station.
7 Preparing the destination server and deploying the destination agent Prerequisites Physical destination servers A supported ProLiant destination server must be used for X2P migrations, and the destination server disks must be configured to support migration of source servers. For a list of supported ProLiant servers for X2P, see the list of supported servers in HP Insight Management Support Matrix at the following website: http://www.hp.
Linux server migration can fail with the following error if the destination size chosen when you specify destination disks in the migration wizard, does not have enough space to create the -smpue files: Server migration could not modify initrd on the destination server. This could happen when there is not enough free space available on boot partition.
Booting a physical destination server automatically by using the migration wizard 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Identify the source server and select volumes to migrate in steps 1 and 2 in the server migration wizard. In step 3 of the P2P or V2P migration wizard, select Auto Boot - Let server migration boot the destination server. Enter the iLO IP address and iLO credentials. Enter the static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (Optional). If the network has a gateway, enter it here to ensure connectivity.
• The boot virtual disk is connected 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 Make sure that the following parameters are met: • The virtual machine has at least 1024 MB of memory. • You have created the virtual machine by selecting the correct operating system being migrated.
NOTE: If the application cannot connect to the destination virtual machine, return to step 3 of the migration wizard. Then while leaving the migration wizard running, manually create a virtual machine in the VM Host Management console outside of the migration wizard. Return to the migration wizard and select Manual Boot — Manually create VM through VM Host's Infrastructure Client, specify the IP address of the destination virtual machine, and then continue with the migration.
8 Migrating the servers Prerequisites CAUTION: If the Insight Control application station shuts down or fails during any migration, the migration fails. The application station must be available during the complete migration cycle for a successful migration. Minimum source server prerequisites for all migrations The prerequisites are the same for all migration types: P2P, P2V, V2P, or V2V. The subsequent sections describe only the prerequisites specifically different for that particular type of migration.
• SPP (Windows only) You can upload one or more SPPs when you select additional migration options from the server migration wizard. When a SPP is selected during migration, it will be automatically applied to the destination server. For more information on loading SPP ISO images, see the server migration online help. NOTE: An iLO Advanced license should be installed to the destination server before starting automatic SPP installation.
• Comply with all minimum prerequisites as listed in “Minimum source server prerequisites for all migrations” (page 35). • During migration, the migration Agent initiates an operating system reboot on the source server. Verify that the operating system is on the first boot order. If not, manually change the boot order: ◦ For Windows Server 2003, edit the [system drive]\boot.ini file or use the bootcfg.exe tool. ◦ For Windows Server 2008 or later, use the bcdedit.exe tool.
• Verify compliance with all minimum prerequisites. For more information, see “Minimum source server prerequisites for all migrations” (page 35). • Make sure that the 32–bit version of glibc is installed. The 32–bit version of glibc is required to run the Linux server migration Source Agent. The library is present by default on 32–bit Linux installations, but you might need to install it manually on 64–bit Linux systems. The 32–bit version of glibc is available on your Linux OS installation CD/DVD.
Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites If you are migrating to a destination virtual machine, verify that the following prerequisites are completed: • Select one of the following: ◦ Let Insight Control server migration create the virtual machine automatically, and then boot it by using the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO for virtual machines.
to a SAN LUN connected to a Fibre Channel HBA in the destination server, the server migration might not migrate to the primary LUN. Failing to disable unused ports might produce the error message Error loading operating system when the destination server is booted.
Figure 9 Identify the source server 4. 5. Click Show Server to view the server IP address, name, and OS details. If you manually deployed the Source Agent, click Next now. Otherwise, select Deploy Insight Control server migration Source Agent and then click Next. For information about completing the rest of the steps in the server migration wizard, see the server migration online help.
Figure 10 Quick Launch • From the All Systems page in the Systems Insight Manager console, select a source server, and then scroll over Quick Launch. Quick Launch displays the available operations with the selected source virtual machine or source server.
3. 4. Systems Insight Manager verifies the source physical server or source virtual machine. • If the selected server or virtual machine fails to satisfy the criteria to launch Insight Control server migration, the Quick Launch list does not display the unsupported migration options.
9 Postmigration tasks Installing ProLiant Support Packs after migration If you perform a Windows X2P migration, without uploading the Windows PSP executable from the Upload Drivers tab before migration, you must manually install the HP ProLiant Support Packs (PSP) on the destination server after a migration. You can configure Insight Control server migration to automatically install a PSP after the Windows migration is completed in step 6 of the migration wizard, Additional Migration Options.
X2V postmigration tasks (Windows) After you complete a X2V migration, perform the following steps on the destination server: 1. If you manually booted the virtual machine by using the Insight Control server migration Virtual Machine Boot CD ISO, disconnect the ISO and then manually reboot or shut down the virtual machine. 2. Add necessary network configurations to the migrated virtual machine guest.
3. Delete the original (preserved) entry. Example 1 Editing Boot.ini [boot loader] default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS timeout=30 [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”Windows Server 2003, Enterprise” /sos 1 /bootlog 1 /noexecute=optout /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk0)partition(1)\WINDOWS=”HP Insight Control Preserved: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise” /userva=3030 2 /3gb 2 /noexecute=optout 2 /fastdetect 2 3 1 2 3 3 Delete this parameter.

A Applying old server migration standalone licenses Starting with Insight Control 6.0, HP Insight Control server migration is no longer available as a standalone and is available exclusively through Insight Control. The addition of server migration functionality into HP Insight Control is a function of the Insight Control software, not of the license key or the part number. There are no new part numbers needed for the addition of server migration functionality.
B Performing migrations in a Microsoft Cluster server environment Migrations in a Microsoft Cluster server environment often require you to move an operating system, appropriate applications, and data to new server hardware. In a cluster, various applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, or a file share can be installed. Cluster migration includes moving these additional resources.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Review the event logs and cluster logs to verify that there are no critical issues that might affect the migration. If an Exchange or SQL Server is installed on the cluster, the premigration steps are similar to those of a standalone Exchange or SQL Server. The only deviation from this procedure is that you would not need to set services to Manual. (By default, all the Exchange and SQL Server services are set to Manual.
15. Review the event logs and cluster logs to see if there are any issues occurring with the newly migrated cluster.
C Logging server migration application service Logs into Windows NT Events To log the server migration application service logs into Windows NT Events, perform the following steps: 1. In the file \bin\windows\hpmmsvc.conf make the following changes: a. Change the statement wrapper.syslog.loglevel=NONE to wrapper.syslog.loglevel=INFO b. Add another statement wrapper.syslog.format=TM 2. Restart the HP Insight control server migration application service.
