Physical-to-ProLiant migrations
Preparing for a P2P migration
The following sections list prerequisites for a P2P migration.
If you use a firewall, see the “Configuring SMP Universal with a firewall” section in this guide.
Source physical machine prerequisites
1. A valid network connection must exist between the source and destination server.
2. The source server must contain an active boot partition to be migrated.
3. Complete any pending reboots and software installations on the source machine before initiating
a migration to prevent interrupting the migration process.
4. Temporarily disable any antivirus software autoscans on the source machine to prevent
interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the migration.
5. To verify that the disks are not corrupted, run chkdsk and disk defragmenter on the source
physical machine before initiating a P2P migration operation.
6. Verify that all hard drives on the source physical machine are correctly initialized (disk signature
written).
If Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 is installed, then verify initialization by selecting
Computer Management>Disk Management. Verify that the latest hard drive configuration is
saved.
7. Verify that all partitions on the source physical machine have a valid file system and are in a
healthy state.
