Server Migration Pack

The HP ProLiant Essentials Server Migration Pack extends the functionality of the HP ProLiant Essentials Virtual

Machine Management Pack by simplifying the server consolidation process. The HP ProLiant Essentials Server

Migration Pack provides the following migration capabilities:

• Physical-to-virtual (P2V) migration Migrates a physical machine to a virtual machine guest within a

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 or VMware virtual machine host

• Virtual-to-virtual (V2V) migration Migrates a virtual machine guest between different virtualization

layers, including Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, VMware ESX Server ™, VMware Server ™, and

VMware GSX Server ™

• Virtual-to-physical (V2P) migration Migrates a virtual machine guest within a Microsoft Virtual Server

2005 or VMware virtual machine host to a physical machine

You must have full configuration rights to access SMP related menu items.

Select Options→Virtualization Management→Upload Drivers and ensure that all of the necessary device

drivers have been loaded on to the HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Central Management Server

(CMS). If additional files are necessary, load these files from the original Windows or VMware media. Then,

you can perform P2V, V2V, or V2P migrations from the Deploy→Virtual Machine menu items.

The Server Migration Pack is a companion product that works with an equivalent version of the Virtual

Machine Management Pack.
