The Planning phase typically starts when
you create a transition team. The team should assess your business needs,
identify areas to improve, and prioritize which areas to address first.
Ideally, your team should include representation from both IT and end-user
communities and your HP account team. Making the transition as seamless to your
business operations as possible requires a good blueprint
Your first step is to
inventory your current environment to identify key applications and revisions,
server platforms, operating system releases and storage capacity. Specifically,
you need to identify what needs to be replaced and what continues to deliver
business benefits.
During this phase, you'll
develop a transition plan that defines IT requirements, service level
objectives, required functionality or ISV solution stack, transition schedule
and available resources. To help with your plan, HP has developed the following
four AlphaServer to Integrity Server Transition Modules that offer high-level
planning and recommendations. These modules are a consolidation of HP-developed
tools, documentation, best practices, white papers, porting guides and software
tools mapped to the transition life cycle phases to help you identify
requirements, timing, and required resources. They include:
- Platform Infrastructure - helps you plan and design the transition of your servers, operating systems, storage devices, and tape devices
- Oracle Database Migration - helps you quickly and safely plan and design transition Oracle databases to Integrity server.
- Custom Code Migration - Provides high-level planning and design information and recommendations to help assess your efforts to transition custom code applications and addresses programming-related transition issues.
- Packaged ISV transition - helps you to plan and design the transition specific packaged applications from independent software vendors (ISVs).
