You can migrate enclosures into HPE OneView offline or in-service.
|
Offline |
Servers are powered off before migration Advantages: Faster migration time and partially-stacked domain support |
|
In-service |
Servers remain powered on during migration Advantage: Minimum downtime in server connectivity |
Both types of migration require that:
-
All blocking issues, as identified in the compatibility report, are resolved
-
All acknowledgements are understood and accepted, including additional acknowledgments for in-service migration (for example, BIOS and SR-IOV)
In addition, in-service migration requires:
-
A fully stacked enclosure in a dual ring or left/right vertical stacking link configuration. See recommended stacking connections in the HPE Virtual Connect for c-Class BladeSystem Setup and Installation Guide.

NOTE: Changes made during in-service migration do not take effect until the server is rebooted for the first time following the migration. Plan a reboot if one of the acknowledgements, such as an SR-IOV virtual function configuration, indicated a change which would impact your operation. |

|
If the additional in-service migration conditions cannot be met, an offline migration is recommended.
