Hoping someone can help with this one.

I have used open replicator to migrate hundreds of servers with no issue. But my next migration is a bit tricky and I am unsure if it will work.

I am migrating windows servers from a DMX3 to Vmax using hot pull, but at the same time I need to move the server connections from the existing Mcdata switches to cisco switches. They are not isl'ed therefore the Fa ports that the host is going to connect to are not the same Fa ports that is pulling the data.

Example: Vmax -FA-5E0 connected to FA-7AA on DMX3 -Open rep connection

               Vmax-Fa-12e0 connected to Fa-10AA on DMX3 - Open rep connection

1. Shutdown hosts

2. delete zones from hosts to DMX3

3. create session

4. activate session

Now I want to drop the hba cables to the Mcdata switches and connect the new cables that will connect hosts to the Cisco switches.

5. Add Vmax Fa's 3F0/14F0 that are connected to Cisco switches to prebuilt Port Group/Masking View. So there are four Vmax fa's in the port group/masking view. FA-5E0-12E0-3F0-14F0.

6. Power up hosts.

question: Will the open replicator session continue when I add the additional Fa's to the port group on the Vmax? Fa's 3F0 and 14F0 will not be part of the OR session. Will this work?
