Configuring the Virtual Initiators in the Storage Arrays (Storage-Based Migration)

In a storage-based job, the DMM feature creates a virtual initiator (VI) for each SSM that was selected for the current job. The VI is created in the same VSAN as the storage ports (existing and new). If the job contains multiple storage ports, DMM creates the VI in one of the VSANs.

For the data migration to work correctly, you must configure the storage arrays (existing and new) to allow the VIs access to all LUNs that are being migrated. The VI information is displayed in the DPP VI Selection window.

To configure the VIs, perform this task:

  1. Use the information displayed in the DPP VI Selection window to configure the VIs in the existing and new storage devices. The exact configuration steps to follow are manufacturer-specific.
  2. Click Next.
  3. You see the Zone Creation and Activation Status window.

Note     If your storage array provides host group configuration (EMC arrays p), ensure that the VIs are added to the same host group as the servers that access the array.
