Types of Migration

There are two types of migration:

In-place migration. This type of migration enables you to install HP Systems Insight Manager, and optionally, the HP Performance Management Pack on the same server that previously ran Insight Manager 7. As part of the In-place migration process, Insight Manager 7 is disabled and can only be re-enabled by uninstalling HP Systems Insight Manager and manually re-enabling Insight Manager 7. In-place migration preserves user-defined data including the Insight Manager 7 server certificate.

Remote migration. This type of migration enables you to install HP Systems Insight Manager on a different server than Insight Manager 7. The remote migration process leaves Insight Manager 7 running after data has been exported and requires you to import the Insight Manager 7 and Performance Management Pack migration data files to your new HP Systems Insight Manager server. Remote migration preserves user-defined data except the Insight Manager 7 Server certificate.
