On HP ProLiant ML/DL servers and HP BladeSystem c-Class ProLiant server blades, HP Virtualization Manager and HP Capacity Advisor are included in HP Insight Dynamics – VSE. In addition to these VSE Management Software components, Insight Dynamics – VSE also includes HP Server Migration Pack — Universal Edition (SMP Universal), a tool that simplifies the server consolidation process.

SMP Universal can be used to migrate an operating system, applications, and data from one server to another, instead of manually redeploying these components to a new server.

Supported Migration Types

  • Physical-to-ProLiant (P2P) — Migrates a physical machine to a ProLiant server

  • Physical-to-virtual (P2V) — Migrates a physical machine to a virtual machine within a Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 or VMware virtual machine host

  • Virtual-to-ProLiant (V2P) — Migrates a virtual machine guest within a Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 or VMware virtual machine host to a ProLiant server

  • Virtual-to-virtual (V2V) — Migrates a virtual machine guest between different virtualization layers, including Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, VMware ESX Server, VMware Server, and VMware GSX Server

For full functionality, the following additional products should also be installed with HP Insight Dynamics – VSE.

  • HP Insight Control Environment (ICE) — includes HP Virtual Machine Management Pack (VMM) and Insight Power Manager, and is required for licensing HP iLO Power Management Pack. VMM provides tracking, monitoring, and control capabilities for VMware and Microsoft Virtual Server (MSVS) virtual machines within HP SIM version 5.2 or later. To view these virtual machines under Virtualization Manager, the virtual machine hosts must be properly configured and licensed within VMM.

  • HP Integrated Lights Out 2 (iLO2) — allows collection of power information in Virtualization Manager and Capacity Advisor

  • HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) — required for managing logical servers on server blades. VCEM simplifies the management of multiple HP BladeSystem enclosures that use Virtual Connect to control Local Area Network (LAN) and Storage Area Network (SAN) connectivity, helping organizations increase productivity, respond more quickly to business demands, and significantly reduce operating costs. This tool provides a single console to manage network infrastructure connections, a central resource port for LAN and SAN address administration, and grouping capabilities that enable rapid server deployment and movement.
