16.3 Best Practices (X2P)

  • When you are migrating a workload from one vendor to a target hardware infrastructure from another vendor (for example, from HP to Dell), or if your source is a virtual machine, ensure that you disable vendor-specific or VM-specific services during the transfer. For example, disable the HP Insight service and the VMware Tools service.

    See Section 26.18, Windows HAL or Kernel File Replacements.

  • When you are using the Offline transfer method for P2P and V2P migrations, ensure that you select the appropriate Full Duplex speed that matches your network Full Duplex mode.

    See Section 26.22, Migration Network (Replication Network).

  • Ensure that vendor partitions are not being copied from the source.

    See Section 26.23, Storage Disks and Volumes.
