Manually creating and booting a virtual machine destination
server for P2V and V2V
IMPORTANT: For Windows 2000 server migrations to HP integrated VMware ESX Server 3i,
you must manually change the controller type to buslogic before starting the virtual machine
after the migration is complete.
1. Access the virtual machine host management console provided using VMware or HP integrated
Citrix XenServer.
2. Create a new virtual machine with sufficient disk space for migration.
For HP integrated VMware ESX Server 3i virtual machines, verify the virtual machine is created
with LSILogic controller. The VM Boot CD does not support the BusLogic driver.
3. Boot the virtual machine to the SMP VM Boot CD. The SMP Universal VM Boot CD can found in
the following location on the application station:
webserver\webapps\smpui\smpbootcd-v-3.50.iso
4. After the destination virtual machine is booted to the SMP VM Boot CD, to launch the
SMP Universal Agent on the destination virtual machine, follow the steps in the “Configure Boot
CD to launch destination agent” section in this guide.
NOTE: When a virtual machine is booted on an HP integrated Citrix XenServer, the mouse
might not work. If this occurs, use the keyboard when navigating through the Boot CD
user-interface.
Automatically creating and booting a virtual destination server
using the SMP Universal Migration Wizard for P2V or V2V
NOTE: This section applies only to P2V or V2V migrations to HP integrated VMware ESX Server 3i.
NOTE: The destination virtual machine should be connectable on ports 51125 and 51126 from
both the application station and the source machine.
To create and boot the destination VM using the Migration Wizard, perform the following steps:
1. Run the Migration Wizard and in step 3 of the P2V and V2V Migration Wizard, select
VMware ESX 3i virtualization layer.
2. Enter the login credentials for the virtual machine host.
3. Select Boot VM Automatically, and then enter the IP address details for the virtual machine. This
IP address is assigned to the agent running on the virtual machine and is used for the migration.
4. Click Next.
5. Enter the virtual machine Configuration details in step 4 of the migration, and then click Next.
SMP Universal application connects to the virtual machine host, creates the virtual machine, and
then boots up the virtual machine using the VM Boot CD.
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.
