Does Unity block import from VNX support 50+ luns in a CG

[DavidQY]

Hi All,

We have hosts to be migrated from VNX to Unity. One host has 76 luns. I plan to put them in one CG instead of creating migration session one lun each. However, Unity only support CG up to 50. How do I migrate this host using the block import feature? Thanks.

Hello DavidQY,

Here is the link to VNX® Series Data Import to Dell EMC Unity™ All Flash or Hybrid, or UnityVSA™ System User Guide. If you look on page 93 it explains how you want to import Consistency Groups.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you. But it doesn't say what will happen if I migrate 50+ luns. Unity only supports up to 50 in a CG.

you need to stay within the limits or it wont work

The message I got from support is to create 2 CG for this host and migrate the CG separately. Thanks.
