3. HP SIM verifies the source server or source virtual machine. • If the selected server or virtual machine fails to satisfy the criteria to launch SMP migration, then the Quick Launch list does not display the unsupported migration options. • If the selected server or virtual machine meets the criteria, then the SMP application opens in a new browser with the IP address of the selected host added in step 1 of the SMP application Migration Wizard. Performing post-migration steps for Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows 2008 This section only applies if either of the following conditions exist: • The PSP option was not selected during the migration • The PSP is manually added after migration After performing a migration, you must install PSP. Depending on your operating system, perform the Windows 2000 post-migration steps or the Windows 2003 post-migration steps in the following sections. Windows 2000 post-migration steps To install PSP with Windows 2000: 1. Insert the SmartStart CD in the local CD drive, or use virtual media. The HP SmartStart CD home page appears. 110 Using SMP for server migration
