Not able to create migration

Possible causes:

•Duplicate volumes exist. This may occur if either a virtual volume with same name or with the same WWN exists on the destination storage system.

•A host on the destination storage system has a duplicate name.

•The destination storage system does not have enough capacity.

•EMC SMI-S Provider is running an unsupported software version.

•EMC SMI-S Provider user name/password have changed since source storage system was added.

•EMC SMI-S Provider is not managing the EMC Storage system.

•The HP 3PAR Online Import Utility server and EMC SMI-S Provider do not have network connectivity.

•EMC SMI-S Provider and EMC Storage system do not have network connectivity.

•The EMC Storage system is running an unsupported firmware version.

•The LUNs or host provided are in an invalid storage group configuration.

•The LUNs are not eligible for migration (a LUN must be Fibre Channel, and cannot be a replication LUN or reserved).

•The operational state of EMC Storage system does not allow migration.

•There is no connection between source and destination storage systems.

•The wrong migration type is used.

Solution: Check each of the above conditions to identify which may be causing the problem, then resolve it.

Initiating a createmigration command to create a host on a destination produces an error message

Example 64 createmigration command error


>showmigration -migrationid 1397250721519
MIGRATION_ID		TYPE	SOURCE_NAME	DESTINATION_NAME START_TIME		END_TIME	STATUS(PROGRESS)(MESSAGE)

-NA-	preparationfailed(-NA-)(OIUERRPREP1014:Error				creating host on destination;)

Solution: This problem can occur when the host is already added to the destination. Delete the host from the destination and then execute the createmigration command.

HP Storage Migration group user receives an error message when attempting to login to the HP 3PAR Online Import Utility

Example 65 OIU login error

CLI Version: 1.2.0

Enter IPADDRESS: 10.64.0.101

Enter USERNAME: tester Enter PASSWORD:

>ERROR: Invalid credentials, Please try with valid credentials Enter IPADDRESS:

Solution: When the user in the “User” group was created the check box for User must change password at next logon was checked by default. After the check box is cleared, login succeeds.
