Data Migration
This section explains the function that migrates data from an old storage system to the ETERNUS DX.
3.9.1
Storage Migration
Storage Migration is a function that migrates the volume data from an old storage system to volumes in a
new storage system without using a host in cases such as when replacing a storage system.
The source storage system and destination ETERNUS DX are physically connected using cables. Data read
from the target volume in the Migration Source is written to the Destination volume in the ETERNUS DX.
Since Storage Migration is controlled by ETERNUS DX controllers, no additional software is required.

Server Linkage Functions
The ETERNUS DX supports various functions that are provided by linking with servers.
Examples of linkage functions include a backup function that does not place a load on the server and a func-
tion that can obtain information from the ETERNUS DX and visualize this information without using ETERNUS
Web GUI. These functions enable integrated infrastructure management in a virtual environment.
Note that some of these functions may require installation of plug-ins. Refer to the following site for more
