Using virtual storage machines for nondisruptive migration
The nondisruptive migration (NDM) software is used to migrate data nondisruptively from a source storage system to a target storage system. When NDM is used, the program product configuration data is also migrated to enable business operations to continue without interruption.
When
NDM migration is performed, a resource group is created in the target storage system, and the model type and serial number of the source storage system are assigned to the resource group to create the virtual storage machine.
You can use NDM to migrate the following storage systems:
- Migration source:
- Universal Storage Platform V/VM
- Virtual Storage Platform
- Unified Storage VM
- Migration target:
- VSP Gx00 models
- VSP Fx00 models
- VSP G1x00
- VSP F1500
