Booting a physical destination server automatically by using the migration wizard
1. Identify the source server and select volumes to migrate in steps 1 and 2 in the server migration
wizard.
2. In step 3 of the P2P or V2P migration wizard, select Auto Boot - Let server migration boot the
destination server.
3. Enter the iLO IP address and iLO credentials.
4. Enter the static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway (Optional). If the network has
a gateway, enter it here to ensure connectivity. Optionally, you can also select the Duplex
Settings.
5. Click Next.

iLO boot prerequisites
You must meet the following requirements to use the feature of booting from iLO:
• The iLO user credentials provided must have Virtual Power and Reset and Virtual Media access
applied.
• The browser must be configured to support HTTP 1.1. To add this support:
On your web browser, open Internet Options, and then click the Advanced tab.1.
2. As appropriate, select Use HTTP 1.1 and Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections.
• An iLO Advanced license must be applied to the destination server iLO.
• At least 300 MB of free space must exist on the application station for each iLO boot. This
free space should exist on the partition on which Insight Control server migration is installed.
This space is recovered after the migration is complete or the boot job times out.
After the destination server is booted to the proper Boot CD ISO, use the Boot CD application to
configure the destination server and launch the destination agent. From the Boot CD application,
click Help for instructions.
If the migration is not started within 2 hours of the server being powered up through iLO, the server
migration will time out and power down the destination server.
