Hi Team,

We are migrating SMS Server from Physical to Virtual Machine.

In Physical SMS Server Appliance customer having 2 IP addresses assigned one for Management & another for Data (communicating with Security Gateways).

How we can maintain same structure in Virtual environment.

Just make sure interfaces are correct and routing matches.

Hello Andy,

How to make sure physical interface is properly mapped with virtual interface.

Using migrate server export command we are migrating database from physical to virtual.

What I meant is more from perspective communication/routing would be maintained.

The SMS server migration process doesn't care about interface mappings, you don't need to do anything special with that. If you need to change the IP addressing make sure you follow the instructions in the upgrade/install guide for your version, there's a section for migrating between servers staying on the same version.

@emmap is correct as far as interface mapping, not overly relevant in your case.
