Using the Migration Tool
The Migration Tool is used to migrate MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video files from a VBrick
NXG VOD server to a VBrick VOD-W VOD server. The original content remains on the
NXG server and is not affected. The Migration Tool is a Windows-based application that is
installed with the Portal Server installation and should be run on the Portal Server machine.
Once you have created an asset file, use the following steps to actually migrate files to the
VOD-W server. Note that the ingestion process on the VOD-W server is CPU and
bandwidth intensive. You may want to run the migration during off-peak hours and increase
the ingestion rate as explained below. Be sure to read the following important notes.

• The Migration Tool will not run if SSL is enabled on the Portal Server. To disable
SSL, re-comment the

are ingested on the VOD-W server.
