HP Online Import Software manual EMC to HP 3PAR Migration Process

The migration process selects objects to migrate using the following rules:

•Host—When selecting a single host or group of hosts with volume presentations, all the volumes presented to the host(s) are migrated. In addition, any presentations the source volumes have to other hosts will include those hosts and all of their presented volumes in the migration.

•Presented volumes—When selecting a volume or group of volumes with host presentations, the selected volumes and the hosts to which they are presented are migrated. In addition, any presentations the source hosts have with other volumes will include those volumes in the migration.

•Unpresented volumes—Only the selected unpresented volumes are migrated. The offline migration type is the only type available for unpresented volume migration.

NOTE: For more information about supported and unsupported configurations and about the implicit selection of objects for migration, see “Migrations Supported by HP 3PAR Online Import Utility for EMC Storage” (page 24).

EMC to HP 3PAR Migration Process

The process to migrate EMC Storage volumes to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system consists of three parts:

•Premigration—Work done to define the source and destination storage system to a migration definition. This work is not repeated when migrating a second host or additional volumes after a first migration.

•Migration—Creating and executing the migration. Migration includes the process of unzoning the destination storage system from the source storage system and removing the source storage system after the migration is complete. This work is repeated for every migration.

•Post-migration—Removal of the online import setup.
