Server migration from : Proliant DL380 G3 to ML570

[Network Junkie]

Hi,

Due to lack of storage, QOS, our organization is migrating couple of servers from DL380 to ML570. All the system have at least 3 or more different services in production environment.

For instance: one of the server is serving as: File Server, Symantec Antivirus Server and some minor services.

My concern is how can I migrate from DL380 to ML570 without problems like:
ACL and inheritance + Symantec AV server / client without any problem.

Ghosting / Clone does not help cause entire hardware is different (source and dest).

Is there a better way than restoring from NTBackup or Veritas Backup ?


I am in great hope that HP will have utility for server migration from “ DL380 to ML570”.


Please advice …

In a hope of solution from you …

Regards,
