Migration from DMX4 to VMAX using Open replicator

Question

Hi Everyone,       I am going to migrate data from old DMX4 array to new VMAX array using Open Replicator combined with PowerPath Migration Enabler (PPME). Can any one give me the exact steps and procedure to get Migration done. Thank you.

Are you talking about PPME migration using Open Replicator or Open Replicator with Powerpath (Federated Live Migration) ?

PPME migrtion using Open Replicator (Hot Pull)  to over come down time

we just want to minimize our down time as much as possible.  I need the procedure and steps to implement it.

I guess you cannot completely overcome the downtime, with PPME+OR, still you need a brief outage for the cutover I guess.
