PowerPath Migration Enabler is a server based block level migration tool, used to migrate data between arrays as a transparent migration with no client impact.

There are several ways to migrate data from one VMAX to another:

  1. Using a replication tool like SRDF
  2. Using file based migration tool like emcopy or rsync
  3. Using server based migration tool like PowerPath Migration Enabler (PPME).

PowerPath Migration Enabler is a component of PowerPath. It is a block level migration tool, this is an important point to understand as block level migration do not fix any file system alignments, and it will migrate the data in the LUN exactly as it was on the old LUN.

PPME can migrate data to a same or bigger size LUN but not to a smaller size LUN.

Starting from PowerPath 5.7 SP1 PPME is installed by default with PowerPath and no longer needs a separate license.

In this exercise we will demonstrate how to migrate 2 devices from DMX array to VMAX array

We will be assuming that the server information is as the following:
Server Name: demoserver001

OS: Windows2008 Server

SAN Devices: 2 devices attached from the DMX

  •  1 device – log
  • 1 device – data

We will also assume that the storage fiber zoning is already done to attach both arrays to the server

The steps will be

  • Step 1: Storage pool checking
  • Step 2: TDEV Creation
  • Step 3: Meta’s Creation
  • Step 4: Binding the Meta’s to pools
  • Step 5: Create Storage groups and add Metas to SG
  • Step 6: Create mapping to the storage FA’s
  • Step 7: verify hosts wwn are logged
  • Step 8: Create host alias
  • Step 9: Create initiator groups
  • Step 10: create masking view
  • Step 11: prepare and run PPME migration
  • Step 12: finalize PPME migration
  • Step 13: cleanup stage

Step 1:( storage pool checking)

Check Thin pools to figure out where are we going to add the TDEVs:

command: symcfg -sid VMAX001 list -thin -pool -GB -detail

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symcfg -sid VMAX001 list -thin -pool -GB -detailSymmetrix ID: VMAX001

Step 2: (TDEV Creation)

Check the TDEVs creation:

command: symconfigure -sid VMAX001 -cmd “create dev count=11, size=65520, emulation=FBA, config=TDEV;” prepare -v

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symconfigure -sid VMAX001 -cmd “create dev count=11, size=65520, emulation=FBA, config=TDEV;” prepare -v

Execute a symconfigure operation for symmetrix ‘VMAX001’ (y/[n]) ? y

Step 3: (Meta’s Creation)

Check the metas creation:

Note: we created TDEV’s numbers from 4B29 to 4B33, next step is to create two metas

  • 4B29 will be used for log with only one TDEV 4B29 and will add them to storage group FSR5_1
  • 4B2A will be used for data with TDEV’s 4B2A, 4B2B, 4B2C, 4B2D, 4B2E, 4B2F, 3B30, 4B31, 4B32, 4B33 and will add them to storage group FSR5_2

command: symconfigure -sid VMAX001 -cmd “form meta from dev 4B2A, config=striped, stripe_size=1920; add dev 4B2B:4B33 to meta 4B2A;” prepare -v

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr\Desktop>symconfigure -sid VMAX001 -cmd “form meta from dev 4B2A, config=striped, stripe_size=1920; add dev 4B2B:4B33 to meta 4B2A;” prepare -v

Step 5: (Create Storage groups and add Metas to SG)

command:
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage -name demoserver001_db create
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage -name demoserver001_log create
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage -name demoserver001 create

symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage -name demoserver001 add -sg demoserver001_db
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage -name demoserver001 add -sg demoserver001_log

Note: We only add the meta head to the storage groups
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -name demoserver001_log -type storage add devs 4B29
symaccess -sid VMAX001 -name demoserver001_db -type storage add devs 4B2A

to verify
command: symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage show demoserver001

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr\Desktop>symaccess -sid VMAX001 -type storage show demoserver001

Step 9: Create initiator groups

Assuming: Fiber Switch 1: 10000000c988179e; Fiber Switch 2: 10000000c988179f

command: symaccess -sid VMAX001 -name demoserver001 -type initiator create -consistent_lun

.                   symaccess -sid VMAX001 -name demoserver001 -type initiator -wwn 10000000c988179e add
.                   symaccess -sid VMAX001 -name demoserver001 -type initiator -wwn 10000000c988179f add

after executing the above commands check if the Initiator groups are created
command: symaccess -sid VMAX001 show demoserver001 -type init

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symaccess -sid VMAX001 show demoserver001 -type init

Symmetrix ID          : VMAX001

Initiator Group Name  : demoserver001
Last updated at       : 01:11:08 PM on Wed Nov 19,2014

}

Step 10: create masking view

command: symaccess -sid VMAX001 create view -name demoserver001 -sg demoserver001 -pg 8f0_9f0 -ig demoserver001

Step 11: prepare and run PPME migration

check powerpath version
command: powermt version

example:
C:\>powermt version
EMC powermt for PowerPath (c) Version 5.7 SP 2 (build 447)

setup PPME migration on demoserver001
loging to demoserver001, make sure to run command line as administartor

This is an example table to know which LUN is going where:

  • old: disk 2 to new: disk 4
  • old: disk 3 to new: disk 5

setup PPME:
command: powermig setup -techType hostcopy -src harddisk2 -tgt harddisk4 -throttleValue 5

commit handles
command: powermig commit -handle all or powermig commit -handle 1

example:
C:\Windows\system32>powermig commit -handle 1

Commit migration for handle 1 ? [yes]/no: y

C:\Windows\system32>powermig commit -handle 2

Commit migration for handle 2 ? [yes]/no: y

command: powermig info -all

Step 13: cleanup stage

delete PPME handles
command: powermig cleanup -handle all or powermig cleanup -handle 1

example:
C:\Windows\system32>
Cleanup migration for handle 1 ? [yes]/no: y

Unzone the server from the old array

login to the host and delete all the dead paths from the old arrays
command: powermt check

example:
C:\Windows\system32>
Warning: symm device path xxxxxxx is currently dead.
Do you want to remove it (y/n/a/q)? y

check the masking before deleting it
command: symmaskdb -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e list devs
symmaskdb -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179f list devs

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symmaskdb -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e list devs

Unmask the devices from wwns on DMX001 array
command: symmask -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e -dir 3c -p 0 remove devs <Old Devs that needs to be deleted example: 3E5A, 3E5B>

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symmask -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e -dir 3c -p 0 remove devs 3E5A,5E5B
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symmask -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179f -dir 14c -p 0 remove devs 3E5A,5E5B

check the masking after deleting it and it should be an empty list
command: symmaskdb -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e list devs

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symmaskdb -sid DMX001 -wwn 10000000c988179e list devs

C:\Documents and Settings\demousr>symmask -sid DMX001 delete -login -wwn 10000000c988179e

check to see if the login deletion was successful
command: symmask -sid DMX001 list logins -dir 14c -p 0
symmask -sid DMX001 list logins -dir 3c -p 0
