RP for Migration

Hi:

Customer is using RP just for migration.

Regards,

Gopal.

There are several documentation on the powerlink.

Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ P-R ~ Documentation > RecoverPoint

Product Guides

Administrators Guides

Techinical Notes

Release Notes

White Papers

Depending on your environment (splitter or host) you will have special deployment documentation.

I am not aware of any specifically for migrations.

Thanks for the response.

Is there any document cheat sheet, I am basically looking for lessons learned or field experience.

Thanks again.

Hi, technically I do not see any problem.

The point is the migration will have to be totally offline, you can not have any I/O to the lun during the initial sync as you do not a splitter.

If you do have the splitter on the source you can do most of the migration online, as all I/Os on the source will be replicated by the splitter, so you would only have to stop the production at the moment of the failover after the initial sync (full sweep) that depending on the size of the lun can take a while.
