Environment

NetIQ PlateSpin Migrate 12.x
NetIQ PlateSpin Migrate 11.x

Situation

A X2P file-based transfer of Windows 6.2 and above kernel versions fails during the sending and receiving files stage.

Resolution

To force file transfer to work in this X2P scenario, disable the CPU advanced flags in the firmware: VT-d, VT-s, Execute Disable Bit.

1. Disable VT-d flag if available in the target hardware.
2. Disable VT-x flag if available in the target hardware.
3. Disable XD ( execute disable) bit in the target hardware.

Cause

The file Transfer breaks on the target machine while copying files from source and abruptly closes the TCP channels.

Additional Information

XD (Execute Disable ) Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.
