Hello,

I will be working on setting up a Hot Push OR session from a VMAX to the new VMAX3 and I have a few questions on setting this up for a cluster (both windows and Linux).

1. the zoning between the VMAX's is in place

2. Storage Allocation of the storage from VMAX 3 to the VMAX using Auto provisioning groups is in place

3. I have the OR file ready to go

4. I will be using -precopy to create the OR session so the background copy is active

This is spot I need help with

5. Once I activate the OR session and the copy completes, how do I know which host in the Cluster should I be bringing up first? Should all the hosts in the cluster be shutdown prior to the cutover? Is there a way to know which host was active prior to shutdown (of the cutover)?

If anyone could please help me with the steps I need to follow after the activation of OR session for a cluster  so I can communicate them and work with our Sysadmin that would be extremely helpful. I really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Sumanth
