Select Migration Type and FIPS Mode

You must define what type of migration to perform. Based on this selection, Director Setup takes one of two paths to guide you in automating your process, one path for a deferred migration, the other for a real-time migration.

Additionally, you can use this dialog to specify the FIPS mode that you want to use.

To select migration type and FIPS mode

1. Select one of the following migration types:

   Deferred migration using a DNA file

   Defines the creation of a DNA file to be stored in the data directory.

   Real-time migration over the network

   Defines the source and destination workstations for a real-time migration.

2. Select the appropriate FIPS mode:

   FIPS-Preferred

   Specifies that FIPS-compliant cryptography is preferred. This mode is backward-compatible and lets you access password-protected DNA files created using the previous releases of CA DMM. However, if you have a CA ITCM installation on the computer, CA DMM will operate in the same FIPS mode as CA ITCM. For example, if CA ITCM is operating in the FIPS-only mode, CA DMM will also operate in the FIPS-only mode even though you have selected the FIPS-preferred mode. You can configure CA DMM to ignore the FIPS mode of CA ITCM using a command line option. For more information, see the Reference Guide.

   FIPS-Only

   Specifies that only FIPS-compliant cryptography is allowed. This mode is not backward-compatible and you cannot access password-protected DNA files created using the previous releases of CA DMM.

3. Click Next.
