Destination Server Boots From The Smp Boot Cd On A Manual Boot; Migration Process; Drivers Cannot Be Installed Or Injected Onto Boot Disk; Large Volumes Fail With Server Thread Error - Compaq 226824-001 - ProLiant - ML750 User Manual

Network on both the source and the SMP station must be properly working.
The root login must be enabled on the destination ESX 3. x host, and root credentials are used for
deploying agent to the host. To deploy the agent:
1. Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
2. Set PermitRootLogin to yes and ensure it is not commented out.
3. Restart the sshd service.
If you are launching SMP Source Agent to a virtual machine, check the virtual machine console with
virtual machine host management console for any errors.
The agent success and failures are logged onto system drive\hpsmpagent.log file on the source server.

Destination server boots from the SMP boot CD on a manual boot

During the migration, when the auto-boot option is chosen to boot the destination server, the application
station boots the destination server from the SMP boot CD by connecting the virtual media to the destination
iLO. When the migration is canceled by closing the migration wizard, the virtual media remains connected
to the destination iLO.
You can view a list of IP addresses where virtual media is still connected to the server in the SMP
installation directory/bin/iLOIP.lst file. To disconnect these virtual media, enter SMP
installation directory/bin/ResetILOVM.cmd -i xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u username -p
password where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the iLO IP address.

Migration process

Drivers cannot be installed or injected onto boot disk

This error is reported if SMP fails to install or inject device drivers. In most cases, additional information is
reported on the destination server. Possible causes for this error include:
The boot partition was not migrated to the boot volume on the destination server. Verify that the boot
partition is selected for migration and placed on the boot volume of the destination server.
The network connection failed during driver installation.
The destination server failed or was powered down during driver installation.
The storage controller where the boot partition was placed is not supported. For a complete list of
supported controllers, see the HP Insight Server Migration software for ProLiant Support Matrix .
The iSCSI initiator failed to mount the disk. To resolve this issue, reinstall the iSCSI initiator on the
application station.

Large volumes fail with server thread error

Migrating extremely large volumes (larger than 1 TB) can result in a failed migration with the following
message:
Server Migration failed. Error occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.
To resolve this issue, increase the size of the Windows paging file.

For Windows 2003

1. From the Control Panel, double-click System.
2. In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
