Connecting Devices for Data Migration

The Peer Motion Manager software runs on a Windows host connected to the destination system. Both the source and destination systems must be connected to any hosts to be exported from the source to the destination system. The destination system is connected by one or more FC connections to the source system and appears as a host to the source system. This configuration allows volumes to be exported to the destination system as if it were any host.
