Hi, I am trying to present storage form both an EMC VNX and an IBM A9000 to a netapp 7-mode filer. (maybe doing the same with cDOT later)
I am trying to expand my 7-mode filers storage with both A9000 (first) and then EMC VNX storage.
I cannot find any documentation - anyone have any links/advice?
Can you please let me know some more details like.
Model, Dataontap version.... etc
And they need to be a vseries or flex array personality. I don't beleive they can be both FAS and vseries.
Hi model and version below:
NetApp Release 8.2.1 7-Mode: Fri Mar 21 14:48:58 PDT 2014
Model Name: FAS8060
Hi
I think it looks like it is vseries licensed. Below links might helps you on this.

Thanks I'm checking through those documents now. The Filer is zoned into two fabrics I see the wwpns correspond to the out put from a "fcp show adapter" - which is good.
==============================================================================================================================
However, I also want to migrate some Netapp Luns to another IBM A9000. I have been checking the the Netapp Filer and I cannot find
any of the initiator wwpn's zoned in - I'm guessing that is one of the first steps?
Do you know of any documents which mention best practice for migrating volumes from a Filer to A9000?
Thanks. Rob
