DMM Data Migration Wizards

DMM GUI provides wizards to configure and perform data migration jobs. You can launch the DMM wizards from the Fabric Manager, by choosing the Data Mobility Manager option from the Tools menu . There are separate options to launch server-based data migration jobs and storage-based data migration jobs.

You can also launch the DMM wizards from the job status display. On the Data Migration Status toolbar, the Config Server-based Mode tool launches the wizard for a server-based job and the Config Storage-based Mode launches the wizard for a storage-based job.

The DMM wizard guides users through the configuration steps. At the end of each step, the wizard communicates with the SSMs as required (to create the job, to obtain configuration information, or to create the sessions).

The DMM GUI uses the configuration information from the SSM in order to automate parts of the data migration configuration. For example, when you choose a server enclosure, the GUI displays the storage devices (and a list of storage device ports) that are exposed to the server enclosure (based on VSAN and zone information).

The DMM feature performs LUN discovery to select the LUNs available for migration and automates the session creation by matching the LUNs in the existing and new storage. The wizard allows you to adjust the session configuration prior to sending it to the SSM.
