3 Deploying SMP Agents Deploying SMP Source Agents Before starting a migration, SMP Agent must be running on the source and destination servers. Therefore, verify the proper agent is applied to the source and destination server. To launch SMP Agent, you must have administrative rights to connect to the source server. Before performing a migration, remove CDs, floppy disks, USB keys, or other detachable media from the source server. You can deploy SMP Agent using one of the following methods: • Using the Central Management Server (CMS) with HP SIM installed • Using the application station with stand-alone SMP installed • Using executables located on the SMP application station • Using Install SMP Source Agent on autorun of the HP SMP 3.70 CD (Windows migrations only) NOTE: Source agents cannot be deployed to Windows 2008 servers using the Deploy Agent tab on the application station wizard. You must either manually copy the hpsmpagent.exe from the \Agents\SMP folder to the source server or connect the SMP installation 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. SMP Agents The following SMP Agents are available: • Windows VM Host Agent-This agent must be launched on a target virtual machine host running on a Windows operating system that is used for P2V or V2V migrations. This agent must be applied when a destination virtual machine is created on an agent-based virtual machine host running a Windows operating system. This agent runs as a service on the virtual machine host and does not need to be reapplied for multiple migrations. However, if a migration is started to a virtual machine on this virtual machine host, then other simultaneous migrations to any other virtual machine on the same virtual machine host are queued. To determine whether your virtual machine host is agent-based, see the HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant Support Matrix or see the "Agent-based hypervisors" section. • Linux VM Host Agent-This agent must be launched on a target virtual machine host running on a Linux operating system that is used for P2V or V2V migrations. This agent must be applied when a destination virtual machine is created on an agent-based virtual machine host running a Linux operating system. This agent runs as a service on the virtual machine host and does not need to be reapplied for multiple migrations. However, if a migration is started to a virtual machine on this virtual machine host, then other simultaneous migrations to any other virtual machine on the same virtual machine host are queued. To determine whether your virtual machine host is agent-based, see the HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant Support Matrix or see the "Operating system" section. • SMP Windows Source Agent-This agent must be launched on the Windows source server or virtual machine before performing a migration. This agent does not run as a service on the source server and must be applied for each migration. • SMP Linux Source Agent-This agent must be launched on the Linux source server or virtual machine before performing a migration. This agent does not run as a service on the source server and must be applied for each migration. Deploying SMP Source Agents 27
