Helpful script for P2V cleanup

[NJK-Work]

For those of you that use HP SIM to manage VMs and do P2Vs, I wrote a batch file that extensively cleans out all the old HP drivers and agents after the P2V.

I originally posted this on the VMware forums, and I personally don't use HP to do P2Vs, but I thought some of you might find this useful:

@ECHO OFF

You will also need to create a REG file that must be in the same directory and called "p2vcleaner.reg":

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sysdown\]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sysmgmt\]

Finally, also in the same directory, you will need the snetcfg.exe utility. This can be downloaded from http://www.jsifaq.com/docs/files/76011/snetcfg.zip

So what I do is copy all three files (batch file, reg file, and snetcfg) to a temp location on the server. Run the P2V, and then after the conversion run this batch file on the new VM to clean all the HP junk off the VM. I do this AFTER the P2V instead of before (on the physical server) so that if I need to go back to the physical server, it will still have all the HP stuff on it.

Hope this helps some folks out there.

It may be helpful to know that this is an unnecessary step when using the HP Server Migration Pack which does this automatically...

[NJK-Work]

Cool - I did not know that (since I don't use the tool) :)

Thanks for the update.

[Rob Buxton]

Nelson,
What do you use to do the P2V's?
I've tried the new VMware Converter but that seemed to leave a lot of services from the agents.
I might give this a go along with vmware convertor.

[NJK-Work]

Correct - the VMware converter does not remove any HP/Compaq management agents or directories (and some reg keys too).

My script takes care of "automating" the removal of these. You can always remove this stuff by hand, but this script automates it.

Apparently HP has this built into the tool they sell - but I have never used it, so I was not aware of that.

Thanks,
I have used HP's P2V up until now, but on the most recent Server I tried it would just BSOD and reboot at startup - it's W2K3 so it's not the know W2K BSOD issue with the ntoskrnl. Also it would BSOD and then immediately reboot so I had no way of catching the error.
But, the VMware Converter plus your script gave me a nice clean conversion.
I'd like to award points for it but...

[NJK-Work]

Glad to help!

Nelson

[Rob Buxton]

Just a followup, the script does a lot more tidying up of the utilities than HP's P2V.
After that your still left with the SMH and various other utilities, so running it after an HP P2V gave me an even cleaner virtual server.

With the servers I converted using VMware Converter and then using the script there's a remaining advanced ilo management driver that's been left behind. I'll dig a bit deeper when I'm back in the office and if I can enhance the script I'll post the updates.

[NJK-Work]

That would be great. I am always looking for ways to improve this.

Thanks
Nelson

I have done many P2V's with HP's utility and it does not remove any of the HP utilities from the OS instance. In fact it doesn't do much at all. I wrote my own script as well to remove the services and utlities, but didn't care about removing the drivers as they don't get loaded anyways.
Great script Nelson, there are many that could use this.

[NJK-Work]

Thanks!
