Migration Process Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the migration stages. In order to help organize
the activities involved in the migration process, a six-stage migration
process is defined as follows:
1. Education
2. Analysis and planning
3. Preparation
4. Installation
5. Compatability Mode (CM) operation
6. Native Mode (NM) operation
These stages should be used as a guideline for migration. Stages can,
and often will, overlap or be skipped altogether. Figure 1-1
summarizes the migration project stages.
Figure 1-1. Migration Project Stages
Hewlett-Packard has provided solutions to ease the migration process at
each stage: use the Migration Toolset during the analysis/planning
stage, the Directory Migration Tool (DIRMIG) to migrate the operating
environment during the installation stage, and the Switch Assist Tool
(SWAT) to create mixed-mode applications during the migration to NM. You
will find other migration documents and tools listed in Chapter 2.
