The P2V assistant is a menu driven utility that
helps you consolidate or migrate between systems. The source and destination
systems can actually be either virtual systems or physical systems,
as the feature is implemented as a general purpose utility. To use
the P2V assistant, enter the p2vassist command
on the VM Host. Requirements for Migrating a Workload | |
The Integrity VM software must be installed on
the source system. The source system and target system must have SSH
connectivity. You can connect from the VM Host system to the target
server without a password (host-based authentication). The P2V assistant migrates only applications that
have Software Depot (SD) packages. Applications that are not SD compliant
cannot be migrated with the P2V assistant. Using the p2vassist Utility | |
The p2vassist utility is structured
as a tree of menus, each of which can execute a function or give access
to a deeper-level menu. Use the p2vassist command
on the VM Host system. For example: # p2vassist

Consolidate Applications
==============================
This option will consolidate application(s) installed
on the current system and then migrate into another a
suitable target system. The target system is the machine
which will host the consolidated application(s).
This wizard requires that non-interactive Secure Shell
(ssh) access be set up between this system and the
target server.

Troubleshooting P2V Problems | |
If the application was already installed on the
target host, the P2V assistant interrupts the installation process
with the following message: ---------------------- [ Attention ] ----------------------
One or more of selected application (s) are already
installed on target system garopaba.
The applications are listed below:
Application - Target Version - Repository Version
FIREFOXsrc - 1.5.0.00.01 - 1.5.0.00.01
It's strongly recommended to stop that all applications
listed above (or any other using them) before continuing
with the installation.
All selected applications already installed on target
host will be removed. Notice that any patchs and/or other
updates may be lost if older versions are installed.
Type below if you would like to continue
----------------------------------------------------------
|
The P2V assistant prompts you either to continue
or to stop the installation. If you choose to continue, the P2V assistant
first uninstalls the application on the target host, then installs
the selected one. Do not continue the installation if older versions
can break dependencies on another applications. In addition, install
older versions of applications might overwrite updated libraries that
were installed by patches. |
