Hi Guys,

We are planning to migrate some legacy workloads from XP 12K to VMAX 20K.

Apart from checking the size on source and destination and considering the OS level compatibility, what is the best way to achieve this?

In total we have 4 hosts consuming around 8-9 TB space (which has huge DB instances).

The OS team is planning to migrate the OS to Linux on VMware platform and carry out a DB restore.

What are the best practices and proactive planning steps that I should be considering before I engage EMC professional services to acheive this. The 2 arrays are connected on different fabrics, HPserved by Brocade switch and VMAX by Cisco MDS.

Thanks for highlighting the points those needs to be considered.

Regards

Harshal
