Select Migration Type and FIPS Mode

Ensure that you define the type of migration. Based on the type of migration, Director Setup takes one of two paths to guide you in automating your process. One path for a deferred migration, the other path for a real-time migration. This guide steps you through the process of automating a deferred migration.

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

Follow these steps:

1. Select from the following options:

   Deferred migration using a DNA file

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

   Note: Select the Deferred migration using a DNA file option.

   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 that are created using the previous releases of CA DMM. However, if you have a Client Automation installation on the computer, CA DMM operates in the same FIPS mode as Client Automation. For example, if Client Automation is operating in the FIPS-only mode, CA DMM operates in the FIPS-only mode even though you have selected the FIPS-preferred mode. Configure CA DMM to ignore the FIPS mode of Client Automation 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 that are created using the previous releases of CA DMM.
