Media Migration
5 December 2008
2. Power down the PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance, including the server and all at-
tached MD1000 Storage Enclosures.
3. Remove the physical disks for the Disk Group to be migrated as determined in Step 1.c.
4. On the target PowerVault DL Backup to Disk appliance, set the Disk Configuration Policy
to Manual via the Appliance Management Console.
5. Install the physical disks of the migrated Disk Group in to the MD1000 Storage Enclosure
connected to the target PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance.
Note: If the goal is to keep the Disk Configuration State as Standard, the migrated Disk Group
must occupy Slots 1-7 or Slots 8-14 in the new MD1000 Storage Enclosure. The optional hot
spare should be installed in Slot 0.
6. From the target PowerVault DL Backup to Disk Appliance Console, launch Dell’s OpenMan-
age Server Administrator (OMSA) tool. Import the migrated Disk Group(s) using OMSA.
Refer to the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) User Guide for specific steps.
Note: Use the OMSA procedure for importing foreign configurations.
7. On the target PowerVault DL Backup to Disk appliance, reset the Disk Configuration Policy
to one of the Automatic settings via the Appliance Management Console.
8. Launch Symantec Backup Exec once the Disk Group has been imported. Backup Exec will
automatically discover and detect the imported Disk Group (listed as an Array in the De-
vices tab), including its virtual disks. The contents of the migrated Disk Group / array must
be inventoried and cataloged before they are available for use.
9. Select the Devices tab from within the Backup Exec management console. Right-click the
imported virtual disk and select Inventory from the pop-up menu. Repeat this step for each
imported virtual disk. Once all virtual disks have been inventoried, their contents must be
cataloged.
