How Do I Create a Target Server that Meets the SMS Requirements?

Target Server Environment Requirements

1. A target server must run the same type of OS as the source server. Otherwise, there will be a server name conflict or other problems.
2. A target server must use the same type of firmware as the source server. Otherwise, the system will warn you the firmware type of the target server is different from that of the source server, or the firmware type of the source server is unknown. For details, see How Do I Check the Firmware Type of a Source Server?
3. Target Server Disk Requirements
   • A target server must have at least as many disks as the source server. Otherwise, the error "Insufficient disks on the Target Server" will be reported. In such a case, see How Do I Resolve Error "Some disks on the target server are smaller than those on the source server. Select another target server" When I Configure the Target Server?
   • Each target server disk must be at least as large as the paired source server disk, or the migration cannot continue.

     In such a case, see How Do I Resolve Error "Some disks on the target server are smaller than those on the source server. Select another target server" When I Configure the Target Server?

4. The required ports are enabled in a security group the target server belongs to.
   • Linux: TCP port 22 for file-level migration, and ports 8900 and 22 for block-level migration
     Caution

     • For security purposes, these ports are only opened to the source server.
     • The firewall of the target server must allow traffic to these ports.
