Data Migration Service for MPX200 Planning
Guide

1. Plan for data migration.

Pre-migration

“Viewing system and data migration job logs”
(page 63)

2. At the start of the project, clear the migration
logs.

“Installing a data migration license key” (page
37)

and

“Applying an array-based license to a

specific array” (page 37)

3. Verify the pre-installed data migration license
or install a license key, then apply the
array-based license key, if an array-based
migration license will be consumed for this
project. Otherwise, a per-TB license is used
automatically.

“Configuring the fabric” (page 42)

4. Configure the FC fabric.

“Presenting LUNs to the MPX200” (page 43)

5. Provide the MPX200 access to LUNs from
source and destination arrays.

“Setting array properties” (page 53)

6. Discover arrays and set array properties.

“Job failover and failback” (page 23)

7. Configure automatic failover for high
availability.

8. Define user groups.

“Using the data migration wizard” (page 55)

9. Configure and validate data migration jobs.

Configuring the fabric

Because MPX200 online data migration presents multiple virtual FC ports to each physical FC port,
enable NPIV support on the FC switches. If the FC switches (older 2 Gb FC switches) do not support
NPIV, or if you do allow the switch to be configured with NPIV support, enable loop mode support
on an FC switch port, then configure the MPX200 FC ports in loop-preferred or loop-only mode.
The default is loop-preferred.
