Migrate from AX100 to CX4-120
We have recently purchased a CX4-120 SAN. The new unit supports iSCSI and Fiber Channel. We have an old AX100 and an old CX300. We have SANCopy for migrating LUNs from the CX300 to the new SAN. Is there an easy way to move the Data from the AX100 to the new SAN?

Hi,
You can migrate from Ax4 Lus to cx4 with minimum downtime using EMC open Migrator.
Its very handy and simple tool for volume migrations.

If you have SANCopy on the CX4 then you can do a SANCopy pull from the AX100.
If you have a SANCopy/E license for the AX100 and you also have a SANCopy license for the CX4 then you can to a SANCopy push (full or incremental).
Same goes for the CX300.
Please see the R29 SANCopy Release Notes and the SANCopy/E Release Notes available on Powerlink at:
Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ S ~ Documentation > SAN Copy > Release Notes
The following is from the SANCopy R29 Release Notes. Target system means a storage system that is participating in a SANCopy session as either a SANCopy source LUN (pull) or SANCopy target LUN (push) and which does not have the SANCopy licensing installon on that storage system.

Thanks, I will look into this.
Another question, If I connect the CX4-120 to the FiberChannel, can I attach servers that are on Fiber Channel to this SAN?
I have 4 Citrix XEN server hosts that are currently attached to the AX100. I am thinking that if I attach the CX4 to these machines as well I can use the XEN Snapshot to move the VM's to the CX4 rather than migrating the LUNs and then trying to reattach the Storage Repositories to the servers. Using Snapshot might be easier.
