Perform a Disk-to-Disk Migration Using the User Interface

You can specify the operating system drive and the settings to migrate in the user interface and perform a disk-to-disk migration.

Follow these steps:

1. Connect the source disk to the host computer as a slave disk.
2. Open CA DMM from Start, Programs, CA, Desktop Migration Manager.

   The Welcome page opens.

   Note: You can disable all the Welcome screens in the application by selecting the Disable welcome screens check box.

3. Click Next to open the Select a DMM Task dialog.
4. Select the Creates a DNA file from Slave Disk check box to enable disk-to-disk migration.

   Note: You can also select the Disk To Disk Migration check box in the DMM Options file to enable disk-to-disk migration. If you select the Disk To Disk Migration check box in the DMM Options file, the Creates a DNA file from Slave Disk check box is automatically selected in the CA DMM application.

5. Click Create.

   The Disk-To-Disk Drive Mapping page opens.

6. Specify the drive mapping information as applicable. If your slave disk has dual operating system, you can select the relevant operating system from the Source OS drop-down list. You can also change the drive map if you find that the drive map generated by CA DMM is not proper.
7. Click Next.

   The Select Settings dialog opens.

8. Click Next and provide necessary information in the Settings and Destination tabs as you provide for any DNA file. Click Start Store in the Migrate tab to create the DNA file or the SE DNA file.

   Note: You can also create a DMM template file in DMM Template Editor and use the settings that are specified in the DMM template file. You can open the file in the CA DMM application, review the settings, make necessary modifications, and then proceed with the migration. For more information about how to create a DMM template file, see the DMM Template Editor Online Help.

9. Apply the DNA file or the SE DNA file to any computer including the host computer.

   The template settings are applied. You can undo the disk-to-disk migration by loading the undo file in the Logs tab of the CA DMM and following the instructions in the wizard.

Note: If you want to apply the DNA or the SE DNA file on the host computer, first clear the Creates a DNA file from Slave Disk check box in the CA DMM application or clear the Disk To Disk Migration check box, if selected, from the DMM Options file. For more information about creating a DNA file, applying a DNA file or SE DNA file, and undo options, see the CA DMM Online Help.
