4 Using DMS for data migration

This chapter helps you get started using data migration service with the HP MPX200 router and HP
StorageWorks mpx Manager.

General steps for data migration

To perform data migration:
1. Plan for data migration.
2. Zone the Fibre Channel ports from the MPX200 with the Fibre Channel ports of the storage array.
3. Present the source LUNs and destination LUNs to the MPX200 using the array vendor's
configuration tools; for example, use Command View for HP Enterprise Storage Array (EVA) or
Navisphere for EMC CLARiiON.
4. Before beginning data migration, clear the migration logs (see
job logs" on page 63).
5. If the router fails to discover arrays, use the target rescan option (see
targets" on page 59).
6. If you are using an array-based license, follow the License Array wizard to apply the license.
7. Set the array properties: symbolic name (optional) and target type (Source or Destination) (see
"Setting array
8. Create the user-defined job groups (see
9. Configure data migration jobs (see
10. Monitor your data migration jobs (see
11. Acknowledge completed data migration jobs (see
job" on page 70).
12. After the data migration project is complete, export the migration logs to your local workstation
(see "Viewing system and data migration job
13. Make the array offline by zoning out the array ports from the MPX200, and then remove the
array.

Presenting LUNs to the HP MPX200

Data migration requires that LUNs from both the source and destination storage arrays are presented
to the HP MPX200 as described in the following sections.

arrays for offline data migration.
