I have just completed a data migration from EMC storage to NetApp AFF700 / FAS8200 clusters
I have a number of records in the SAN-Attached Profile Database that do not relate to external arrays but actual Fibre Channel SVM's from our NetApp cluster. This only occurred in one of our sites globally.
All other sites had the EMC references only which were deleted after migration was complete.
Below is detail from the array directory.

The serial numbers extracted from above are the WWNN's of the Fibre Channel SVM's in our cluster, and relate to
all of the WWPN's of the SVM ports and therefore in the SAN zoning for all FC storage allocations.

Can you explain why these are in the SAN-Attached storage array directory or why they did not have similar records in our other sites and clusters' directories ?
Secondly can these records in this directory be removed without affecting the operation of the SVM's ?
