Hi Yaron,
I am considering the following:
1) Other systems / departments submit jobs to WFA
a) I would like to check the jobs parameters
i) Part of testing / integration - Immediate execution means I have to roll errors back on the storage
ii) Validate Production jobs
b) An Operator / Engineer would like to launch the jobs one at a time in some cases
2) Data Migration
Scenario:
a) Move from old hardware to new hardware
b) Create an "Empty" system layout on the new hardware
c) Mirror all data to new hardware
d) Break the mirrors
e) Enable snapmirror and snapvault relationships for new hardware
Implementation
a) An external tool plans the migration
i) Jobs: Creation of a set of vfilers - Many calculated parameters / settings
ii) Jobs: Creation of storage layouts - Many volumes, qtrees, LUNs etc
iii) Jobs: Creation of initial mirrors from old to new hardware
iv) Jobs: Break mirrors
v) Jobs: Establish new snapvault and snapmirror relationships
b) Challenges
i) This would result in many jobs
ii) Currently I only have the possibility to validate the results after storage creation
iii) I want to run the migration step by step and validate everything is ok
