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 also help you identify
the changes you may need to make to the server after migration.
The tables in this section are designed to take proper inventory used for planning data migration.

Step 1. List the source and destination storage array

The information requested in
center.
Table 15 Storage array information
Storage array
1
The storage array specific software that is used in data migration to present the source LUNs to the MPX200, and to create
destination LUNs to be presented to the MPX200 and to the server. The array management software also provides the controller
and WWPN information for the storage array ports.

World wide port name of the Fibre Channel array; used in performing zoning in Fibre Channel switch firmware.

Step 2. List the servers impacted by the data migration project

The information requested in
to install new multi-pathing software when changing the class of an array or when changing the array
vendor. You may need to upgrade existing software for the same class of array.

Step 3. List the applications, mount points, and paths to the physical devices

The applications, mount points, and paths to the physical device requested in
by the server administrator. For Windows OS or any UNIX OS with a logical volume manager (LVM),
the LUN ID association with the server or application and volume is the most important because, in
