Default Settings
A. Default Transition Settings
You can set a default configuration that will get applied to every new transition, created in the tool. Default Settings option is present under Settings on the top-right corner. This option can also be used to set/reset the default password for converted policies.
Custom tags defined through default transition settings get applied to all the transitions.
For details on each of the settings field, refer the Transition Settings for Conversion and Transition Settings for Cloning sections below.
B. Transition Settings for Conversion
The following are the conversion options present in the Transition Settings page of the IMM Transition Tool. You can set/unset these options to control the behavior of the transition.

UCS domain settings (NTP, DNS, Syslog, SNMP, System QoS, and Switch Control policies)
Note
Fabric policy conversion is supported for UCSM only.

When enabled, separate VSAN policies are created for Fabrics A and B. If disabled, the tool determines whether to create single or separate VSAN policies for Fabrics A and B.
-
-
Always create separate Port Policies

This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, separate Port policies are created for Fabrics A and B. If disabled, the tool determines whether to create single or separate Port policies for Fabrics A and B.
-
-

This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, the chassis/rack server IDs are preserved to the same server ports after transition as the one used in UCSM/Central.
-
-
Create Chassis Profile Template

This option is enabled by default.
-
When enabled, selected Server policies/Pools/Profiles/Templates are converted to equivalent Intersight Policies/Pools/Profiles/Templates
-
Service Profiles Conversion
-
This option is enabled by default.
-
When the conversion of Service Profiles is enabled, user can select the Profiles to be converted at the Select Profiles/Templates step.
-
When enabled, following identifiers may not be maintained:
-
IP
-
MAC
-
IQN
-
UUID
-
WWN
-
-
-
Global Service Profiles Conversion
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, selected Global Service Profiles get converted to equivalent Intersight Server Profiles.
Note
This conversion is applicable only for UCSM.
-
-
Preserve Identities
-
This option is enabled by default.
-
When enabled, configuration identities such as IP, IQN, MAC, UUID, WWPN, and WWNN are preserved during the conversion of service profiles from UCS to IMM.
-
-
Root Org Name
-
You can manually enter the name of the Intersight Organization to which the UCS Org will get mapped.
-
or opt for the default UCS Domain name for the destination Intersight Organization.
-
-
Keep source Org path in Intersight Org name
-
This option is enabled by default.
-
When enabled, the UCS org "root/Org1/Org2" is named as "Org1_Org2" in the destination Intersight org.
-
When disabled, the UCS org "root/Org1/Org2" is named as "Org2" in the destination Intersight org.
-
-
Use vCon placement info for vNIC/vHBA order
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, vNICs/vHBAs get statically mapped to different PCIe slots depending on their source vCon.
-
vCon any, 1: "PCIe MLOM", vCon2: "PCIe slot 1", vCon3: "PCIe slot 2" and vCon4: "PCIe slot 3".
-
You can manually map the vCons to the PCIe slots by providing inputs and overwriting the dafult mapping.
The supported range for vCon slot value is : 1-15.
-
When disabled, the vNICs/vHBAs are configured with Auto PCIe Slot, which will resolve to the first VIC adapter.
-
-
Use Host Port info for vNIC/vHBA order (use only for VIC1300):
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, vNICs/vHBAs are placed on two PCI Links corresponding to the source Admin Host Port values. This should only be used if the converted profile are assigned to a server with a VIC 1300 model.
-
When disabled, all vNICs/vHBAs are mapped to a single PCI Link.
-
-
Automatically change long org names (>17 chars)
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
If enabled, the organization names that are longer than 17 characters are changed to automatically generated names. This prevents errors when the combined length of the organization name and QoS policies exceeds 40 characters.
-
-
Convert Power Policies (Disable it for C-series server)
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
Power Policy is now supported on Cisco UCS B-Series and Cisco UCS X-Series servers but remains unsupported on Cisco UCS C-Series servers. Enable this option only when converting profiles assigned to Cisco UCS B-Series and Cisco UCS X-Series servers.
-
-
UCS Central Tags Conversion
-
This option is enabled by default.
-
When enabled, the UCS Central tags that are assigned to pools, policies, and profiles/templates are converted and can be easily viewed in the "Converted UCS Central tags" row of the corresponding Intersight objects in the readiness report.
Note
-
This conversion is applicable only for UCS Central.
-
The UCS Central tag type duplicate, with varying tag values, cannot be pushed to Intersight. It is due to the fact that Intersight does not allow for duplicate tag keys. However, the first occurrence gets pushed to Intersight.
-
-
-
UCS Central Tags Prefix
IMM Transition Tool, Release 3.1.1, supports adding prefix to the UCS Central tags. You can either provide a Manual prefix for the converted tags or opt for the default prefix after conversion.
Note
This conversion is applicable only for UCS Central.
-
Preserve Service Profile Associations
-
This option is disabled by default.
-
When enabled, Server Profiles are pre-assigned to the same server serial number after transition as the one used in UCSM/Central.
-
-
-
Automatically tag converted objects
-
This option is enabled by default.
-
When enabled, Intersight objects are tagged with "imm_migration_version": "4.0.1" and "imm_transition_name": "_imm_transition_name_".
-
New tags can be added by clicking on + Add new button and entering the key-value pair.
-
Existing tags can be modified and deleted.
-
Tags with keys "imm_migration_version" and "imm_transition_name" cannot be modified but can be deleted.
-
Every tag should have an unique key whereas values can be duplicated.
-
Duplicate tags with same key-value pairs are not allowed.
-
-
Overwrite existing Intersight objects
-
This option is disabled by default.

Delete Resource Group Memberships For Shared Orgs
-
This option is disabled by default.
Conversion and cloning of shared organizations is now supported.
-
Resource group membership to shared organizations is not supported.

When enabled, existing resource group memberships of an organization in Intersight are deleted if the same organization becomes a shared organization after conversion. Disabling this option will result in failures during pushing of the shared organization because Intersight does not support resource group mapping with a shared organization.
-
-
Default Password for Converted Policies
The default password is used as a replacement for any existing password in UCS Manager/Central policies that are converted, such as Virtual Media, iSCSI Boot, IPMI over LAN. This password gets auto-generated during tool installation. This password should be reset by the user after the converted policies are pushed to Intersight.
-
Password for iSCSI Mutual Chap Authentication
This password is used for Mutual CHAP Authentication in iSCSI Boot Policy. It must be different from the Default Password for Converted Policies.
