Figure 3 (page 11) shows the configuration used when you are:
• Migrating from one vendor SAN to another vendor SAN.
• Installing a new fabric and do not have enough ports available in the old fabric.

Data migration configuration
Figures in this section show the typical configurations used for offline and online data migration
using MPX200 models. “Performing data migration” (page 41) and “Configuring the data path
through MPX200 for online data migration” (page 152) also refer to these figures. The following
figure legend applies to all data migration figures in this section.
