Recommendations for carrying out Proactive Healthchecks on PowerMax Array

The Dell VMAX and PowerMax enterprise storage platform families support storage-based Non-Disruptive Migrations (NDM) to migrate business-critical host systems to new storage arrays without application downtime. With the release of the PowerMaxOS 5978.444.444 code family, NDM support is added for the IBMi host platform. NOTE 1: For IBMi systems that also use Dell's native STM software toolkit (SRDF/TimeFinder Manager for IBMi), there are some additional considerations when the (optional) final step in the NDM process is done for a device-identity reset (unspoofing) of the migrated devices. Read the instructions provided below, prior to performing the identity reset! NOTE 2: The device identity reset, also mentioned as an "unspoof" operation, has implications for the next initial program load (IPL) phase after the unspoof. Read further details below.

If two array devices in two different array pairs have the same device ID, for example, 0003A, VMware is unable to properly identify the protection group for one pair. For example, array A and array B have pairs to array C and possibly array D.
