General Migration Requirements
Before deciding on the type of migration to perform, make sure that the source computer (i.e.
the physical computer that you will migrate or that stores the virtual machine and Container
before its migration) and the destination computer (i.e. the computer that runs Parallels Server
Bare Metal and that will host the resulting virtual machine and Container) meet the requirements
below.
Requirements for the Source Computer
The source computer can be a physical computer, a virtual machine, or a Container. The
software requirements for source computers are given in the following table:
