NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide

Migrating VMAX (Symmetrix) arrays

Before the upgrade to NetWorker Snapshot Management (NSM), remove any snapshots that were created with the PowerSnap Module from the VMAX array. You can delete the snapshots or clone them to conventional storage media.

Ensure that the operating system, versions, and configuration support NSM. Components of the NSM network provide details.

Decide whether you continue to use a Symmetrix/VMAX resource file (symm.res) or take advantage of NSM intelligent pairing.

NOTE The migration procedure does not remove the symm.res resource file. The symm.res file is optional for NSM, but NSM uses it if present.

VMAX disk groups are no longer required for NSM to operate. If present, NSM ignores them.

Pairing source LUNs to mirror LUNs provides details on intelligent pairing.
