Storage Migration
Overview
This function displays the setting and progress of Storage Migration.
Storage Migration is the function for migrating data by connecting other storage systems (migration source) and the storage system (migration destination). Data migration is possible regardless of the server and the OS, and without using server resources.
When performing a Storage Migration, confirm that there is no access from the host to the migration source volume.
- The requirements for access from the host to the destination volume vary depending on the operation mode.
For "Migration & Host IO", Storage Migration can be performed even if host access exists in the destination volume after a migration is started.
For "Migration", "Migration + Quick Compare", or "Quick Compare", perform a Storage Migration without access from the host to the destination volume.
For "Migration + Full Compare" or "Full Compare", perform a Storage Migration without access from the host to any volume in the destination storage system.
The path groups must be deleted after the data migration is complete. If the operation mode is "Migration & Host IO", host I/O response is reduced until the path groups are deleted. In addition, if the migration path is blocked, the host I/O may stop.
- Do not perform the following operations when there are Storage Migration paths ("path group" hereafter) established.
Configuration of an Advanced Copy destination to the destination volume
Configuration of an Advanced Copy destination to the migration source volume
Formatting of the destination volume
RAID diagnosis in the RAID group to which the destination volume belongs
Disk diagnosis of the disk drives in the RAID group to which the destination volume belongs
CM hot expansion on the destination storage system
Memory hot expansion on the destination storage system
- The path groups must be deleted after the data migration is complete. The following operations are not available before path groups are deleted:
Hot controller firmware upgrade at the destination storage system
Eco-mode schedule setting of the RAID group to which the destination volume belongs
Eco-mode schedule setting of the Thin Provisioning Pool (TPP) to which the destination volume belongs
Capacity expansion of the RAID group to which the destination volume belongs
RAID migration of the destination volume
Encryption of the destination volume
Capacity expansion of the destination volume
Deletion of the destination volume
Port mode modification of the destination FC-Initiator port
Port parameter setting of the destination FC-Initiator port
Reduction of the CA to which the destination FC-Initiator port belongs

Use the [Start Storage Migration] function to start Storage Migration.
A started Storage Migration can be suspended, stopped, and restarted in volume units on the [Path Group Detail Information] screen. Refer to the [Suspend Storage Migration] function, the [Stop Storage Migration] function, or the [Restart Storage Migration] function for details.

Path Group |
The path group number (0 to 15) is displayed in decimal number. Click this item to display the [Path Group Detail Information] Screen. A path group combines the paths for data migration into a group for each source storage system. The paths from a single source storage system to the local (destination) storage system constitute a path group. |
Vendor ID |
The manufacturer name of the source storage system to which the path is created is displayed. An inconvertible code is displayed as "*". |
Product ID |
The product name of the source storage system to which the path is created is displayed. An inconvertible code is displayed as "*". |
Serial number |
The serial number of the source storage system to which the path is established is displayed. An inconvertible code is displayed as "*". |
Progress |
The progress (%) of Storage Migration for the path group is displayed. |
Status |
The general status of Storage Migration for the path group is displayed.
