Filesystem migration - NS GW to VNX5300 using Celerra Replicator
Hi,
We are implementing a filesystem migration using Celerra Replicator:
Exsiting NAS, NS GW with version 6.0.36.4
NEW NAS, VNX5300 with version 7.1.72.1
From the VNX replicator document, it has mentioned below:
"Replication sessions are supported between VNX systems that use version 7.0 and later
and legacy Celerra systems that use version 6.0 and later. For legacy Celerra systems that
use version 5.6, only versions later than 5.6.47.0 are supported for replication with legacy
Celerra systems that use version 6.0 and later, and VNX systems that use version 7.0 and
later."
Will the Celerra IP Replication setup be supported in such environment?
regards
Chan

Hi,
So current setup ia 6.0 on celerra and 7.1 on VNX ? If yes, the replication is supported between these two.

Interesting reply. Seems to contradict error message on VNX.
Severity: Error
System: xxxxvnx5500csa
Domain: xxxxx
Created: Nov 15, 2013 10:20:30 AM
Message: Slot 2: For the Replication session:xx_xxdata_to_xxxxx, the Data Mover version on the destination file system is incompatible with the Data Mover version on the source file system...
Data Mover version on the source fs: 7.1.65
Data Mover version on the destination fs: 6.0.65
Minimum required Data Mover version on the destination fs: 7.1.0
Source is VNX5500. Destination is NS-960.
So not entirely clear if 7.1x VNX's can replicate with 6.x Celerra?

Hi John
Thanks for the message.
In fact, we have proceed with the implementation and now we are facing communication issue between the datamover. EMC support is on this and the analysis was due to no NTP configured and its more than 10min drifted apart. Customer doesn't have a NTP server.
I will update this if we are successful in the replication configuration with these versions.
Thanks.

Hello John,
For the replication from DART OE 7.1 to DARE OE 6.0 is considered, it should give you issues like it is. The DART OE on the source can be lower than or equal to the destination DART code but NOT higher than it. The DART OE works that way and of course it even makes sense since you do not want to move the data to an older version and risk it after all the investment in the DR setup.
