san copy Initiators

I am doing san copy migrations from cx 300 to cx 400, did zoning part correctly. Due to problem in creating san copy connections , I did deregister and when i want to register again I don't see those Initiators in cx 300 connectivity status. Zoning is Intact. how do i see these Initiators again in Connectivity status of CX 300 ?

Any suggestions please.

Thanks

Regards

take a look at this thread, make sure you specify correct WWN when you define source and target LUNs

In Connectivity Status in the lower left corner, check the box called "Show Storage System Initiators"

Yes RLP has enough luns and 30% of the total sancopy storage. Is there anything that cx 300 will not support migration of luns with size more than 1TB ?.

Nope I Never used navicli and Dont have much knowledge on that. Do let me know if you have steps to do sancopy throught navicli.

Thanks
