data migration on Clariion luns

Is there any way we can copy data to a destination lun of smaller in size compared to the source lun on an CX700 array? SAN COPY tells should be of same or greater in size. Any information would be appreciated.

    thats right. So there are no arry based tools to achieve this data migration to a smaller lun. I know we can do this from a host based perspective, but i was wondering if we can do it on the array side.

    i am afraid not ..San Copy admin guide for Navisphere states that destination logical unit has to be of equal or greater capacity.

    I guess the only option left to you is to do a host based copy.
