RP CDP migration

Hi,

I am trying to use RP as migration tool.   I have CRR setup from array1 to array2.

I want to migrate array1 out and replace it with a new array.

Here the steps that I have taken.

1. create bookmark

2. enable image access on the CDP copy.

3. failover to CDP copy

4. set CDP copy as production.

#create bookmark

bookmark_image groups=Test_CG bookmark=migration

#enable_image_access

enable_image_access group=Test_CG copy=CDP image="search_image" image_type="user_bookmark" search_text="migration"

#failover without reverse sync

failover group=Test_CG copy=CDP start_transfer=no

#set as production copy

set_production_copy group=Test_CG cluster=Site1_RPA copy=CDP

The 3rd step is the one that I have failed as the system is giving the following error message.

Error: Operation failed. Each enabled target copy must have a link to the production copy. ( Create the following link: CDP->DR before setting production )

    So just to confirm, you have a three copy CG (Prod, Local and Remote)?

    Prod copy is on the old Array1

    Local CDP copy is on the new Array1

    Remote CRR copy is on the Array2

    Hi,

    Yes you are right. Prod copy is on the old array1, local cdp is on the new array1 and remote CRR copy is on the array2 for the environment that I am going to do the migration.

    However as I am testing the procedure out in a lab so my prod copy is on the old array1 and local cdp is on the old array1 (use different LUN) and remote CRR copy on the array2.  Will that make any different if the prod copy and cdp copy are using the same array.

    No it shouldn't make a difference. Try removing the original CDP copy before setting the new CDP copy as Production.
