Hello,

Can you confirm that your PPME license is for the techtype HOSTCOPY and not OPEN REPLICATOR, SYMCLONE or INVISTA?

Thank you

Looks like Linux requires a minimum of 5.3 for HostCopy.  (Search "Host Copy" in the 5.3 release notes)  It is listed as a new feature:

PowerPath Migration Enabler 5.3 includes the following new features

and changes:

◆ Support for Host-based copy migrations. Host Copy is a new

Migration Enabler technology type that works in conjunction

with the host operating system to migrate data from one logical

unit to another. Host Copy supports migrating plaintext and

encrypted data (depending on the license type). Subsequent

sections contain more information about supported

configurations.
