Migration of SAN volumes from 7-mode to cDOT

Hi guys,

I have a client that will migrating from 7-mode on FAS3270HA to cDOT on FAS6250. They have some SAN (FC) volumes that will have to be transitioned (Exchange, SQL and VMWare). I have been looking through NetApp documentation and noted that the 7-mode transition tool only supports migration of NAS volumes. What methods are available to migrate SAN volumes, other than host-side copies? Can I use SnapManager for Exchange/SQL to move data from volumes on a 7-mode filer to volumes on a cDOT filer? I'm really hoping there's something available, because the alternative is frankly extremely tedious!

Thanks.
