Feature

Description

Documentation

Ability to perform an automated in-place migration of UCS Manager Devices using the Transition Tool

IMM Transition Tool, Release 5.0.1 introduces a new transition type: In-Place UCS Domain Migration. This new type allows to perform an automated in-place migration of UCS Manager Devices to Intersight Managed Mode. IMM Transition Tool will fetch the UCS Manager domain configuration, convert it to Intersight, take a backup, and delete the configuration so that the domain is in a proper state to be reconfigured in Intersight Managed Mode. It will also perform the Initial Setup of the domain in Intersight mode (either manually or automatically via DHCP). The converted Domain Profile is then assigned and deployed automatically. The Server Profiles are automatically assigned to servers once they are successfully discovered. However, deployment is not automated; you need to manually power on each server and deploy the profile to complete the process for all server profiles.

Change in the Operating System

The underlying operating system of the tool has changed from Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 24.04. Therefore, if you are an existing user using IMM Transition Tool, Release 4.X, you must backup data from the existing version of the tool, install the new ova file, and restore the data on the latest version of the tool.
