Migrating SQL from IBM DS4700 SAN to VNX
Hi.
We are looking for a way to get the data from a SQL server from a IBM DS4700 SAN, and copied over to a VNX 5300.
For an Offline copy we can use San copy Pull, and that should be supported.
Does anyone in here have an idea or a tool that is supported to do the migration online, that would save us a lot of time.
Thanks in advance
Jim

in order to use PPME, source and target devices have to be under PowerPath control. PowerPath does not suport DS4700

Have you investigated database mirroring? That would allow a very quick switchover, along with support for heterogeneous storage environments.
It does come at the cost of an additional server.
