Portal V7.0: Prepare the source environment

Pre-migration tasks include preparing the source portal to migrate and setting up the new portal. If the two portals are located on different servers, you will also need to assemble some additional, supplementary files. If we are using localhost in the database URL for any of the database domains or for VMM Lookaside, update the URL to use the actual database server host name before continuing with migration.
