if you are talking of doing a VNX lun migration on a RP journal the answer is it works fine and has been done before

Hi Ed,
This is OK and is supported. Should work just fine.

You got in their first so you get the 'correct answer'!
I wanted to check as I came a cropper with Mirrorview RLP luns which can't be migrated.

Sure, you can do that. It's very small, won't take long.

It's easy and quick. these are private Luna but from a recover point appliance perspective, which is like an external host to a vnx array.
so no comparison between rlp Luns and journals. Appreciate your attitude to double check any tas. Keep it up

One thing I know about EMC, don't assume anything...

My advice in this instance would be not to make any RP config changes during the period of the migration.

The comment was made in relation to RP specifically and is cautionary on the basis that if a config change is attempted during the migration of the repository it may fail or you may get a settings conflict warning.

Forshr,
I would like to agree and disagree with you at the same time.
Agree with you, in case you're running an environment with your system utilization over 90% all the time. In such environments, there is no additional cushion for the background migrations to happen.
Disagree, because 90% of the environments will not fall in the above category.
So edhoward1, please check your environment and take your call, we trust you with this.

Good point to note, however the user raised a case for migration of the journal luns and not the repository.

Journals migration is fine using array LUN migration but the question was also asked about the repository, see comment 4.

Hi ,
I opened a chat with support EMC , and i had the confirmation that the migration repository volume does not supported using the LUN migration . We have to migrate the LUN like a new install recoverpoint with new storage
best regards
