Installing and configuring server migration software
Installing or upgrading server migration software
HP Insight Control server migration software is delivered on the HP Insight Management distribution
media and is installed through the Insight Management Integrated Installer. The server on which
you install Insight Management is designated to be the Central Management Server (CMS).
For installation and upgrade instructions and supported upgrade paths, see the HP Insight
Management Installation and Configuration Guide.
For a description of all software that is delivered on the Insight Management distribution media,
see the HP Insight Management Getting Started Guide.
Licensing server migration
The standard procedure for licensing Insight Control server migration is to purchase and apply
Insight Control licenses. So if your destination server is licensed by Insight Control version 6.0 or
later, you can perform unlimited migrations to the Insight Control licensed server.
