Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a physical server, Server01 that has an MSA60 array attached, which has been in operation for some time, the MSA60 holds approximately 5 TB of data.<br />
<br />
I am virtualising my environment to Hyper-V and so have created a new guest server, Server02 on my Hyper-V host.<br />
<br />
Please could someone advise me on how best to move the MSA60 array to the new Server02 machine? &nbsp;I would like to preserve the 5TB of data that is on the MSA60 so that I do not need to restore it from backup.<br />
<br />
Also, what would be the best way to back the MSA60 up in the future using Backup Exec 2012 to tape? &nbsp;Should the tape drive be attached to the physical machine that hosts the MSA60 and is it OK to have Backup Exec running on a different guest machine, Server03 that is running on the same physical host as Server02?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Paul

Hello,

I am virtualising my environment to Hyper-V and so have created a new guest server, Server02 on my Hyper-V host.

Please could someone advise me on how best to move the MSA60 array to the new Server02 machine?  I would like to preserve the 5TB of data that is on the MSA60 so that I do not need to restore it from backup.

MSA60 Array on Hyper-V Guest

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
