Get-OVMigratableServer

Syntax

Get-OVMigratableServer
    [-Hostname] <Object>
    [-Credential] <PSCredential>
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Migration transfers the management of rackmount servers along with their associated profiles, and copies dependent resources from one HPE OneView appliance to another appliance. This migration process does not impact the applications or workloads that are running on the server.

You can consolidate one or more rackmount servers from multiple appliances into a single appliance to increase the server scale support.

Supported migration paths

You can use the migration utility that is available with the HPE OneView 7.0 appliance to migrate servers from:

HPE OneView 6.6, which is a long-term support (LTS) version, and
other HPE OneView 7.0 or newer appliances

Please see the HPE OneView online help "Migrating server hardware" help topic for more information and best practices.

This Cmdlet will connect to the source appliance, in order to retrieve a list of supported and migratable servers. Use the returned list to then initiate the server migration process with the Invoke-OVMigrateServer Cmdlet. If there are no available servers to migrate, a non-trappable error is generated, which can be overridden using the -ErrorAction common switch parameter.

Info

Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator and Server administrator
