9 Using HP 3PAR Peer Motion Manager Software with
Recovery Manager
HP 3PAR Peer Motion Manager is a feature of the HP 3PAR Operating System Software and
manages the migration of data in between existing storage systems or third party storage arrays.
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager now supports HP 3PAR Peer Motion Manager data migration activities
without any impact on host operations while monitoring the primary storage system.
If the virtual volume is already in use by an ESX/ESX(i) host before initiating migration, the following
conditions applies:
•
You must remove any Virtual Copies created and managed by Recover Manager for VMware.
The Virtual Copies created by a potential migrating virtual volume cannot migrate with its
virtual volume during an active Peer Motion migration operation.
•
You must remove all Virtual Copy scheduler tasks associated with the Datastore or Virtual
Machines using the potential migrating virtual volume before migrating data. If the tasks are
not removed and occurs during migration, the following error message may display during
or after the migration operation, "Could not create HP 3PAR snapshot. Object Id:
vm:uuid-4208b1f5-e2ca-1061-c44c-19cf67bee619. Please login into Storage System 014D
Method: CliCreateNewSnapshot."
•
Previously created Virtual Copies will display Mismatched status. You cannot use Virtual Copies
with Mismatched status for mounting or restoring operations.
•
You must remove the mismatched Virtual Copies records from the interface. Note, this does
not remove the physical Virtual Copies from the original storage system. You must perform a
manual cleanup of the files.
