● Disk space for data files—This is the amount of disk space on the target to hold
all of the source data files. This will be dependent on the applications you are
running and the amount of data files you have.
● Disk space for system state image—This is the amount of disk space on the
target to hold the image of the source system state. You should have at least 5 GB
of space on the target. The more applications you are running on the source, the
larger the system state image will be. Therefore, you may need additional space if
you source has many applications.
● Disk types—Thin-provisioned virtual disks on VMware ESX are not supported
because they cannot be shared by two virtual machines simultaneously.
● Server name—Storage Mirroring Data Migration includes Unicode file system
support, but your server name must be in ASCIIformat.
● Network protocols—Your servers must use TCP/IP with static IPaddressing.
Console requirements
The Storage Mirroring Data Migration console can be run from a source or target to
perform migrations. It can also be run from a source or target to install to other Storage
Mirroring Data Migration servers. However, you cannot run the console on a machine
and install a Storage Mirroring Data Migration server on that same machine.
The Storage Mirroring Data Migration console can be run on any of the source server
operating systems listed above. It can also be run from a Windows XP or Vista machine.
Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1 is required to run the console.
