Page 70 highlights

CD to the source server, and then install the SMP Source Agent by clicking Install SMP Source Agent in the auto run window of the SMP application. 4. Select the volumes to be migrated. Volumes marked as active are selected by default. You cannot migrate or select unsupported file systems. The boot partition must be migrated. The boot partition is contained in an active volume. If only one active volume exists, by default it contains the boot partition and cannot be cleared. If multiple active volumes exist, ensure that the volume containing the active boot partition (which contains the boot.ini, NTLDR, and NTDETECT.com files) is migrated to the target boot disk. Additional bootable partitions might be contained in other active volumes, but the partitions do not need to be migrated. The operating system must be stored on the boot disk and loaded using NT Boot Loader (NTLDR). Volumes on dynamic disks are migrated to partitions on basic disks. Volumes that span multiple dynamic disks (including spanned, striped, mirrored, and RAID 5 volumes) are migrated to a single contiguous partition. Volumes stored on a common source disk must be stored on a common destination disk. You can only resize NTFS partitions. 70 Using SMP for server migration
