Migration to AFF A220

stormtrooper — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 10:18:03 GMT

I currently have a FAS2554 with a number of Volumes and NFS and CIFS shares provisioned. I'd like to migrate all of these to a new AFF A220. Has anyone been through a similar process ? What tools did you use to achieve this ?

Just looking for some pointers on the best way forward !

Thanks.

The least disruptive is to add AFF220 to the cluster, move data off FAS2554 and remove it from cluster. This can be done completely online. Other options depend on licenses you have, how much downtime can you afford, your skills etc. It is really beyond simple forum question, it is more a project work.

An other Option could be, upgrade the System to 9.5 or higher and than use Snapmirror DR - SVM Configuration will transfered.

First you can use snapmirror for volume replication, you have to upgrade the two machines to the appropriate version, you also have to set aside time for planning, choose the right time for data cutover, you need time to remount.
The second method you can use volume movement, will be added to a cluster, the volumes are migrated to A220, you can suspend the migration at any time, until the business is not busy to continue migration, no need to cut the window, automatic completion, the front-end is not aware
