Virtual Connect Direct-attach Fibre Channel for 3PAR Storage
HP supports Virtual Connect Direct-attach Fibre Channel for 3PAR storage using the Virtual Connect
FlexFabric 10 Gb/24-port Module. This provides connectivity between HP c-Class BladeSystems
and 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems without a Fibre Channel switch or fabric. See “HP Virtual
Connect for the c-Class BladeSystem server environment” (page 167).
Direct-attach is supported with the following 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems:
• 3PAR F200/F400
• 3PAR T400/T800
• 3PAR StoreServ 10400/10800
• 3PAR StoreServ 7000 7200/7400
• 3PAR StoreServ 7450
3PAR data migration
The 3PAR family of storage systems is supported for data migration using the following products:
• HP 3PAR Peer Motion—Migrates block data between two HP 3PAR StoreServ systems without
the use of an external appliance or host-based mirroring.
• HP Online Import for EVA Storage—Migrates storage volumes from HP EVA storage systems
to HP 3PAR StoreServ storage systems online and non-disruptively.
• HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage—Migrates storage volumes from EMC storage systems
to HP 3PAR StoreServ storage systems. Orchestration is available using a simple, scriptable
command interface tool called HP 3PAR Online Import Utility for EMC Storage, which supports
offline and minimally disruptive types of data migration.
• HP MPX200 Multifunction Router—Provides online and offline block level data migration from
HP or third party storage systems to 3PAR destination storage systems.
HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage
HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage manages the migration of data from a source EMC
storage system to a destination HP 3PAR StoreServ storage system. Using HP 3PAR Online Import
for EMC Storage, you can migrate EMC virtual disks and host configuration information to a
destination HP 3PAR StoreServ storage system.
HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage coordinates the movement of data from the source while
servicing I/O requests from the hosts. During data migration, host I/O is serviced from the
destination HP 3PAR StoreServ storage system. The host and virtual disk presentation implemented
on the EMC is maintained on the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ storage system.
Table 127 (page 252) describes the operating system support and supported source and destination
storage systems when using HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage. All arrays listed are supported
for offline and minimally disruptive types of data migration, except where noted. For more
information about using HP 3PAR Online Import for EMC Storage, see the HP 3PAR Online Import
for EMC Storage Data Migration Guide in the HP storage information library at http://
www.hp.com/go/storage/docs.
