• Disable all the Windows network drive mappings to the source physical machine in the SMP application station. • Verify that the SMP application station Windows operating systems version is greater than or equal to the source physical machine Windows operating system version. • Verify that the SMP application station Windows operating system is configured for NTFS. Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites The following prerequisites are for target virtual machine hosts in a P2V migration: • If the virtual machine host is agent-based, the SMP VM Hosts Agent must be deployed and running on the virtual machine host before you start the migration. • If the virtual machine host is agent-less, you can select one of the following: • Let SMP create the virtual machine automatically, and then boot it using the SMP VM Boot CD for virtual machines. • Create the virtual machine manually, and then boot the virtual machine manually using the SMP VM Boot CD for virtual machines. • Verify that the destination virtual machine host has sufficient system resources, including processor, memory, and disk space to host the migrated virtual machine guest. • Temporarily disable any antivirus software autoscans on the destination virtual machine host to prevent interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the migration. Performing a P2V migration CAUTION: If the SMP application station shuts down or fails during any migration, then the migration being performed fails. Availability of application station during complete migration cycle is required for successful migration. To start the P2V Migration Wizard: 1. If you are performing a migration from a stand-alone SMP application station: • From the desktop, access the SMP Migration Wizard by clicking the SMP application icon. • From the Overview page, click the Migration Wizard tab. 68 Using SMP for server migration

•
Disable all the Windows network drive mappings to the source physical machine in the SMP application
station.
•
Verify that the SMP application station Windows operating systems version is greater than or equal to
the source physical machine Windows operating system version.
•
Verify that the SMP application station Windows operating system is configured for NTFS.
Destination virtual machine host or virtual machine prerequisites
The following prerequisites are for target virtual machine hosts in a P2V migration:
•
If the virtual machine host is agent-based, the SMP VM Hosts Agent must be deployed and running on
the virtual machine host before you start the migration.
•
If the virtual machine host is agent-less, you can select one of the following:
Let SMP create the virtual machine automatically, and then boot it using the SMP VM Boot CD for
virtual machines.
•
•
Create the virtual machine manually, and then boot the virtual machine manually using the SMP
VM Boot CD for virtual machines.
•
Verify that the destination virtual machine host has sufficient system resources, including processor,
memory, and disk space to host the migrated virtual machine guest.
•
Temporarily disable any antivirus software autoscans on the destination virtual machine host to prevent
interrupting the migration process. Re-enable the antivirus software after the migration.
Performing a P2V migration
CAUTION:
If the SMP application station shuts down or fails during any migration, then the migration
being performed fails. Availability of application station during complete migration cycle is required for
successful migration.
