Migration Scenario 3
The additional processors, Service Pack 4, and additional memory in the following migration
scenario will not require changes to the procedures used to migrate scenario 2 stated earlier.
However, by starting with a SMART-2 /E Controller in the ProLiant 4500 Server you can save the
process of updating the driver before migration.

The following items from the checklist in the “Getting Started” section were isolated for
consideration in this migration scenario:
HAL update required
ProLiant 4500 Server system processor options are not compatible with the ProLiant
5000 Server
ProLiant 4500 Server memory options are not compatible with the ProLiant 5000 Server
NetFlex-3/E Controller can be upgraded to PCI for performance improvement
System Configuration, Diagnostics, and Windows NT SSD require update
For this migration scenario, as with migration scenarios 1 and 2, the HAL and system partition
utilities (System Configuration, Diagnostics, and so on) require updates. Procedures for
accomplishing these tasks can be found in the “Step-by-Step Instructions” section of this document.
As is the case with all the migration scenarios presented in this document, the memory and
processor options are not compatible. The Compaq Technology Brief,
Configuring the Compaq
ProLiant 5000 for Peak Performance
(document number 301A/0696) provides additional
information on this subject.
The NetFlex-3/E Controller in this configuration is compatible but does not utilize the high-
performance PCI architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server. To take advantage of the PCI
architecture in the ProLiant 5000 Server, you must install the updated version of this controller.
Even though the existing controller device driver is compatible, you should upgrade it at the same
time as the HAL.
