SAN Copy Compellent to VNX guide
Does anybody have a good step by step document on how to register a VNX to compellent for SAN copy migration.
We are trying to move off the compellent. Compellent sees the VNX. VNX sees the compellent in the inititiator tab.
How to register San Copy initiator correctly - we used VNX /failover mode 1/array
Update san copy connections does not seem show show ports available in the storage group for uplinks (maybe this is not used in 3rd party array)
Any ideas, documents, threads anyone knows of for connecting a 3rd part array?
Thanks much

so Compellent is logged-in to VNX and you have registered those initiators(complellent ports) but you can't add them to the storage group correct ?

They are registered on the VNX side and I can and have added them to the storage group. Within the storage group I cannot assign any san copy ports (connections).
Maybe they are registered incorrectly? I used VNX with failover mode 1 and array. I used a bogus IP address and a name for the connection.
Seems like I can use the San Copy Wizard, add the WWN of the compellent LUN, then select the target LUN on VNX side. The "verify connections" is grayed out, and when I go to finish the session it errors out.

but wait, you are going to be pulling from Compellent so it does not matter if they are registered or not on VNX side. Just make sure you that on Compellent you give VNX ports access to the LUNs you will be pulling from. It's cold pull, source host will need to be shutdown.
