Windows OS
Migrating data for Windows servers is not difficult. Windows offers two types of
disks: basic disks and dynamic disks. In most cases, Windows will discover the
migrated volumes whenever migrated LUNs are seen by the server.
Take the following precautions:
 Do not create new drive letters while data migration is in process.
 Ensure that the destination LUN size is equal or greater than the source
LUN size.
CAUTION!
Do not expose the destination LUNs to a server until the data migration is
complete and server access to the source LUN is removed.
NOTE:
A dynamic disk may appear in an offline state.after migration and even after
presenting the new LUN to the server. To bring the disk to an online state:
1. In the Device Manager, right-click the disk.
2. Depending on the Windows OS version, click either Import Foreign Disk or Reac-
tivate Disk.
When all dynamic disks are brought back online, the volume will be mounted
for application access.
