Open Replicator

Hi Ashwini,

Were you able to perform the migration os solaris servers without any problem?

I haev 5 Solaris servers moving from one site (source is DMX) to another (destination is VMAX).I am using Open replicator as well.I have made sure that all the servers' components are compliant with Enginuity matrix of the destination VMAX?

Is there anything else to be take care of?

Hi Ashwini/Balaji

As mentioned by Vaibhav you must check for the host compliance with the Storage, just follow the Host integration guide for Solaris with Vmax, have the necessary flags and PER bits set.

Based on the hot/cold or pull/push methodology you are using the state of the volumes should be maintained, other than that there is no other precautions to be taken.

Thanks Anand for the prompt response.

Is there any special flag to be used here for Solaris OS.There are none so far on this FA,.We are planning to use 1E0 and 2E0 for host access on the VMAX.

Below are the SCSI flag settings

1E0

SCSI Flags

            {

              Negotiate_Reset(N)           : Disabled

              Soft_Reset(S)                : Disabled

              Environ_Set(E)               : Disabled

              HP3000_Mode(B)               : Disabled

              Common_Serial_Number(C)      : Enabled

              Disable_Q_Reset_on_UA(D)     : Disabled

              Sunapee(SCL)                 : Disabled

              Siemens(S)                   : Disabled

              Sequent(SEQ)                 : Disabled

              Avoid_Reset_Broadcast(ARB)   : Disabled

              Server_On_AS400(A4S)         : Disabled

              SCSI_3(SC3)                  : Enabled

              SPC2_Protocol_Version(SPC2)  : Enabled

              SCSI_Support1(OS2007)        : Enabled

              WP_Bypass(WPBP)              : Disabled

2E0

Secondly the hosts will be using Veritas cluster server and VxVM for managing the VMAX volumes after migration.

Is there any special flag to set for these as well??

Can you also elaborate a bit more about the PER bits as well?

Thanks in advance,

Balaji

the flags which are set is correct, except for the OS2007 I do not see that mentioned in the elab navigator. Also the Host Connectivity guide talks about the requirements for the the VxVM and the SPC2 flag. Kindly go through the Connectivity guide.

Anand

flag os2007 is for windows but you can let it be enabled. SPC2 is the flag for solaris which I see is enabled. You are good with flag setting.
