Storwize Migration from V3700 to a 5030 over Fiber Channel Switch
Hi all
I need help in the steps in migrating mdisks from my old SAN V3700 to a new V5030 IBM Storwize. They are both connected to the Bladecenters Fiber Switch. Do I need to make zoning in the Blade Center Fiber Switch and how do I do this migration with the image based migration, where the host gets mapped to the mdisk through the V5030 to the V3700 where a copy is running in the background, so the host has very little downtime. I know that I have to turn of the mapping from the V3700 to the host and make a new mapping to the host from the V5030, but any have guide or can help me in the steps for this procedure, so the host has as little downtime as possible.
Have a nice day

Hi, but should i disconnect the host but thats not possible cause Im only migrating some of the mdisks. Should I interconnect the storwize v3700 with the v5030 directly also?
Im running vmware with oracle.
Ok but I need a image mode migration.
If you have VMware you can just use Storage vMotion for zero downtime assuming you have the license needed. Just create a new datastore on the new storage and let VMware do its magic.
ah sorry its baremetal servers with oracle on sorry no hyper visor.
Oracle has live database migration but I can't get the documents as I have no account with them.
ok but the installation is allso on the san mdisk. So thats the challenge.
What kind of migration is this cause there is some sort of data copy method where the new storwize presents the mdisk through the old one and does a image copy behind the scenes. Where the old host mapping is removed and the new storwize presents the same mapping from the old one as a image mdisk until the copy is done.

Isnt this a image mode replication?
