Data Migration from Insight Control server deployment to Insight Control server provisioning

Note: It is assumed that /sbin/hpbootcfg exists on RDP managed Linux-based target servers.
This utility is installed during an RDP operating system installation and sets the one-time boot to
PXE which is used by the ProLiant HW – Add Migrated Linux Server OSBP.
The RDP Migration Utility verifies that each target server is in an active state before it attempts to migrate the
server. If during the target server migration and after this verification, the target server becomes inactive by
other influences than running the RDP jobs, for example, the target server was powered off, the RDP Migration
Utility will wait at most 30 minutes before indicating a failure.
To import the RDP jobs to migrate servers individually
1. From the RDP server, run rmu.exe ICSP_IP where ICSP_IP is the Deployment IP address of the
Deployment Interface of the IC server provisioning appliance.
2. Verify in the Deployment Server Console Jobs pane that two jobs folders, one for Windows and one for Linux,
were created and a job in each folder were imported.
3. These migration jobs can be executed on each target using the Deployment Server console.
4. Before an OSBP can be run on a migrated target server, the server’s iLO must be registered with the IC server
provisioning. This can be done by either
a. Adding each migrated target server’s iLO information manually. From IC server provisioning Servers
page, choose Actions > Add Server, enter the iLO IP address and credentials of a target server and
select Do not boot to maintenance. Choose Add to initiate the iLO registeration or Add+ to enter
more IP addresses.
b. Deploying the ProLiant HW – Add Migrated Windows Server or ProLiant HW – Add Migrated Linux
Server OSBPs on each migrated target server. The OSBP will boot the target server into a service OS,
register the iLO, and then boot the target server back to the production OS.

There is a known issue where the Windows RDP migration job may fail at Install_SA_win.cmd when the target server is
Windows 2012 R2. To work around this issue, add the following code to Install_SA_win.cmd:
ver | find “6.3.” > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 goto ver_2012R2
:ver_2012R2
if arch equ [AMD64]; then
echo “Windows 2012 R2 found”
set filename=”opsware-agent-NT-6.3-X64”
goto Download
Jobs
RDP jobs will not be migrated as a whole; however, the individual tasks, such as a “Run Script” task, will be converted to
be used with IC server provisioning. The individual tasks can then be imported and combined within the IC server
provisioning to create OSBPs.
