Page 29: 10-Gbe Initiators
Because iSCSI and data migration traffic can share the same FC ports, it is prudent to understand how each function effects the other during I/O operation. The use of bandwidth throttling for data migration or MPIO to control the amount and path I/O follows. 10-GbE initiators HP recommends that you map servers with 10-GbE NICs for login to the 10-GbE ports on the MPX200.

that modprobe could not find a driver for a particular combination of major and minor numbers. You can ignore these messages, which occur when Linux is unable to find a driver to associate with a SCSI device node that the iSCSI daemon is opening as part of the symlink creation process. To prevent these messages from occurring, remove the SCSI device nodes that do not contain an associated high-level SCSI driver.
Page 77: Presenting Eva Storage For Linux
Linux does not unmount file systems that are being used by a process; therefore, any process using those devices must be stopped (see the man page for fuser(1)) before iSCSI devices can be unmounted. To prevent file system corruption, the iSCSI shutdown script automatically stops all processes using devices in /etc/fstab.iscsi.

Page 139: Offline Data Migration
6 Offline Data Migration Data Migration Service (DMS) is a block-level, offline, data migration service in the HP StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router data transport device. Features overview The HP StorageWorks mpx Manager for Data Migration Services software is designed to simplify data migration jobs for minimum downtime, while providing protection against common user errors.
Page 140: Feature Details
Feature details This section describes the features of the Data Migration Service. Because the current DMS is an offline-only service, it is assumed that when a data migration job for the specified LUN starts, applications (Microsoft Exchange, Oracle Applications, and other applications that are using the source LUNs for data storage) and server access to the LUN is blocked.
Page 141: Data Migration Job Groups
Job priority 1 is highest and job priority 255 is lowest. After all the jobs are configured for serial execution, you must schedule this batch of serially-scheduled jobs. The batch can be started immediately or at a later time. The Serial Data Migration Jobs Options dialog box provides an easy way to start or schedule the batch.
Page 142: Protection
other applications and servers using the same source array to continue to perform at an acceptable performance level. • Load Balancing: The MPX200 detects all available multiple active and passive paths to the LUN. Load balancing balances the load for migration jobs over multiple active paths, thus improving the migration rate.

readjust_priority Modifies the priority of serial scheduled jobs. Use this feature if you have more than 256 jobs that must be executed sequentially. This operation is allowed only if the high priority jobs are completed, and there is room for shifting the priority values on already configured jobs. This reduces the priority value of the last job from 256 by the value of the priority of the currently running serial job, and makes room to configure more serial jobs.

Page 244: Using Array-Based Licenses For Msa2012Fc Array
Using array-based licenses for MSA2012fc array Each controller of the MSA2012fc array presents different LUNs to the MPX200 ports and hence appears as two separate arrays. Using array-based licenses to migrate LUNs owned by both controllers requires two array licenses. If, however, all LUNs requiring migration are owned by a single controller, one array license should suffice.

Page 369: G Data Migration Best Practices
G Data migration best practices This appendix provides end-to-end “best practices” for using the HP StorageWorks MPX200 data migration service. The MPX200 data migration service migrates the data at block level. When data migration is successful, the application is able to access the same data after the data is migrated to a new logical unit number (LUN).
Page 370: Lun Access To A Server
• The Windows SharePoint application accesses its data through a mount point F:\Sharepoint. • The Oracle application running on a HP-UX (UNIX) host accesses its data through a mount point /home/oracle. • The Apache Web Server application on a Linux (UNIX) host access its data through a mount point /data/webinfo Typically, you create a mount point on a volume.
Page 371: Inventory Checklists
Inventory checklists Data migration checklists help you take inventory of all items affected by a data migration project. This section provides a list of servers and applications, and defines relationships of application data to LUNs and how LUNs are accessed through the server. The migration checklists will also help you identify the changes you may need to make to the server after migration.

Page 373: Step 5. List And Create Fibre Channel Zoning
Step 5. List and create Fibre Channel zoning For a Fibre Channel SAN, create a list of fabric zones that contain the WWPN associated with servers, storage arrays (source and destination) and MPX200, as shown in Table 41. The destination array should be zoned in only with the MPX200 before migration.
Page 374: Minimizing Downtime
Minimizing downtime The ability of the MPX200's to deliver a migration rate of 4TB/hr. per blade, combined with seamless integration of the MPX200 in the SAN and data protection features such as array attributes (source/destination), make it likely that the downtime objective will be met by offline data migration. The following recommendations will simplify the data migration project: •...
Page 375: Validating Integrity Of The Data
After the data is migrated for the specified server or cluster, present the destination LUNs to the server or cluster by changing the fabric zoning and LUN presentation from the array. Reboot the server, and then validate that the new LUNs are seen by the system and that the volumes are mounted on the destination LUNs.
Page 376: Checklist Examples
If volumes are not managed through a logical volume manager in the system, it is important to follow the pre-migration checklists to identify the physical device nodes (/dev/rdsk/c0t1d1) on which the volume is mounted. After data migration, the physical device node may change. Change the volume mount such that it now it points to the new physical device (dev/rdsk/c0t2d5).
