Is it possible to move Non SnapDrive/SME or SMSQL LUNs (already containing Exchange and SQL DB files) to being managed by SnapManager without the need to perform a full data migration? I can't find any reference to performing this kind of migration and would appreciate any feedback out there.</P><P></P><P>Kind regards,</P><P></P><P>Jeffers</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:58:09 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Is-it-possible-to-move-existing-LUNs-with-DB-into-SnapManager/m-p/24526#M8593 jeffries 2025-06-05T06:58:09Z Re: Is it possible to move existing LUNs with DB into SnapManager? https://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-Protection/Is-it-possible-to-move-existing-LUNs-with-DB-into-SnapManager/m-p/24531#M8594 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If the LUNs in question follow the configuration rules for the SnapManager product for a valid snapshot backup (for example, separating the databases and transaction logs onto separate LUNs for a SME backup) then you can simply step through the SnapManager configuration wizard and accept the defaults.</P><P></P><P> </P><P></P><P>The configuration wizard must still be run, but you would not actually be moving the databases or log files.
