the target VNX shows up on the 'management' storage groups and can only see that from engineering mode...

sancopy wizard does not pick-up/see the target VNX but they show on the host==> initiators and by default it belongs to 'management' storage group. they are logged-in and registered. How do I make sancopy wizard see the target VNX? I know I am missing a major step(s) here. Thank you.

i created a storage group called sancopy on the source and target VNXs and clicked on the ports for the SAN Copy connections and they show on both source and target arrays. WHen I clicked on SANcopy wizard from the source VNX, it does not show the destination storage for the sancopy. What am I missing?

if you want to use the wizard, source and target VNX need to be in the same domain (VNX management domain that is).

In the SAN copy Select Destination Storage window, your VNX platform will probably not appear in the pull-down list of available system. This is because the array needs to be in the same domain, and in the initial release of VNX we are not supporting multiple arrays in the same domain. To select the correct destination LUN, you must click the ENTER WWN button on the bottom left of the window and enter the destination LUN's WWN.

After that and click OK, select the Verify Connections checkbox and click Next.

btw, you don't have to use the GUI to use SanCopy. If you are comfortable with the command line you can do all the steps and arrays don't have to be in the same domain.

i finally got a hold of the command line reference and I was able to script it out.  After getting all the UIDs for both source and target luns,  I was able kick off my sancopy sessions. I never used the sancopy wizard before and I was hoping it will give me an option to specify the source and target arrays just like you are using command line (navissecli). Thanks for all the input and yes, it is a lot easier and quicker to script it out.
