Preface
The Data Migration Service for HP StorageWorks MPX200 Planning Guide
provides end-to-end “best practices” for using HP StorageWorks MPX200 data
migration service. MPX200-based data migration service migrates the data at
block level. Successful data migration means the application is able to access the
same data after the data is migrated to a new logical unit number (LUN). Proper
planning for data migration reduces downtime and creates first-pass success.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for administrators planing to implement data migration
projects. The administrator should be familiar with SAN and storage management.
