Chapter 4. Making the transition to the IBM Systems Director Management Console 65
4.3 HMC to SDMC transition
This section describes how you can transition a managed system from an HMC
environment to an SDMC environment. This section is applicable only when the
managed systems are in a public network and SDMC is not the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If your managed systems are in a private
network, refer to 4.4, “Transition in a private network” on page 72.
4.3.1 What is transitioned
The following items are the major items that are transitioned:
򐂰 List of managed systems along with their information, such as MTMS name
and IP address.
򐂰 Virtual Server and profile information are not lost during transition and are
retrieved from the managed system after transition.
4.3.2 What is not transitioned
The following items are the major items not transitioned:
򐂰 Dump data, system, and error logs stored on the HMC.
򐂰 Custom users and roles created on the HMC.
4.3.3 Interactive transition using graphical user interface
SDMC provides a wizard for interactive transition. Using the wizard, you can
connect to a live HMC and stream in the configuration data directly from it.
