General Steps for Data Migration
To perform a successful data migration, follow these recommended steps:
1. Create a data migration checklist. Chapter 2 Inventory Checklists provides
an explanation of each of the checklists, and Appendix A Checklist
Examples shows examples of completed checklists for a specific data
migration scenario.
To obtain the template for the checklists, go to QLogic’s HP OEM Solutions
Web page:
http://qlogic.com/OEMSolutions/Pages/OEMHP.aspx
2. Configure the MPX200 for migration. For detailed instructions, see the Data
Migration forHP StorageWorks MPX200 User’s Guide, “Using DMS”
chapter, and the recommendations in the “Performance” chapter.
3. Migrate the data.
4. Adjust the Fibre Channel zoning in the Fibre Channel switches, and then
update the LUN presentation from the destination storage array to the
server.
5. After data is migrated from one storage to another storage, do the following:
 Update the multi-pathing software on the server, if necessary.
 Adjust the mount point for the volume, if necessary. In most cases,
volumes are automatically discovered under Windows and UNIX
(HP-UX, Linux, Solaris) systems configured with logical volume
managers. For details, see Appendix B Assigning LUNs to the
MPX200 for Data Migration
6. For record keeping, save the migration logs.
