Ensure that your Citrix XenServer environment meets the following prerequisites for migration to VMs on Citrix XenServer:
Use PlateSpin Migrate Client to migrate workloads to virtual machine on Citrix XenServer virtual hosts. PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface does not support migration to XenServer virtual hosts.
You can use Citrix XenServer as the target virtualization platform in a semi-automated workload migration.
Your target must be a fully virtualized (not paravirtualized) VM.
Ensure that the LRD operating system is compatible with the target virtual host. Use the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP3 version of the PlateSpin Boot OFX ISO file (bootofx.x2p.sles11sp3.iso) for target VMs on Citrix XenServer 6.5 and earlier releases that do not support SLES 11 SP4. See PlateSpin ISO Image.
Your source workload must be supported by PlateSpin Migrate and Citrix XenServer.
See Citrix XenServer
in Table 2-14, Supported Target Virtualization Platforms for the Migrate Client Only.
Your network environment must meet the requirements for access, discovery, and migration described in Access and Communication Requirements across your Migration Network.
Configure volumes on the target disks with about 50 MB of additional storage space than the source disks.
