Midrange Storage Solutions Design: Data Migration + Data Protection Phase Flashcards
What are the steps in the migration stage?
consultative sales engagement added to SOW
migration planning
peer SA review and approval
handover of plan to IS
What are the four parts of the Migration Process?
Environment
Planning
Execution
Cutover
What are the steps in block migration?
Preconfigure
Set up import
start import
cutover import
What is the preconfigure phase in block migration?
setting up network connectivity
What is the set up import phase in block migration?
install/upgrade required host plugin that accesses storage to be imported
add source system to the new cluster
select one or more volumes/consistency groups to be imported
select to add hosts that access storage to be imported - host builds inactive IO paths to the destination volumes
set import schedule/policies
What is the start import phase in block migration?
destination volume created for each source volume
volume group automatically created for each consistency group selected for import
active IO and inactive IO paths from host switched to redirect the IO paths to new cluster
What is the cutover import phase in block migration?
can only be performed when import processing state is “Read for Cutover”
What are the steps in file migration?
prepare the source for an import
add the remote system to establish import connection
create a file import session
start the file import session
cutover the import session
commit the import session
What is the prepare the source for an import stage in file migration?
create a source import network interface
What is add the remote system to establish import connection phase?
establish a file import interface connection to the source
What is the create a file import session phase?
specify all required options for the importW
What is the start the file import session phase?
during the session destination file mobility network, NAS server, and destination file systems created
configuration from the source is imported from the source into the destination NAS
What is the cutover the import session phase?
production interfaces disabled on the source side and enabled on destination side - incremental copy occurs from source to destination
What is the commit the import session phase?
protocol data connections to the source terminate and synchronize steps stop - destination import is deleted
What is the File System Migration Assistant (FSMA)?
scans file system attributes and creates file data migration asessment reports
What is LiveOptics Dossier?
collects file system configuration, security info, file size etc.
What is SANCopy Migration Planner (SCMP)?
creates a runbook from VNX ArrayConfig.xml and Unity telemetry files for migrating VNX LUNs
What is Atlas?
plans block data migrations from VNX to Unity on the cloud by using SANCopy
What are Data Migration documents?
consists of runbooks and checklists on Dell Central to aid block and file data migration
What is DTM Assist?
built for ITX Consulting
helps to deliver data center transformation projects
What is Migration Advisor?
provide survey on Dell Central that presents questions about envisioned migration platforms and current/future state
What is DataDobi DobiMiner?
used for migrating SMB/NFS/multiprotocol file data from native/competitive legacy systems
What is Unity File Import?
used to migrate SMB/NFS accessed data from VNX
What is EMCopy?
used to migrate data to Powerstore from any supported Dell storage or third party system on the Windows command line
What is Robocopy?
Used to migrate SMB file systems in Dell storage or third party systems
What is Rsync?
Used to transfer data to Powerstore from NFS file systems that exist on Dell or third party systems
What are the three phases of the Data Protection Phase?
Size
Plan
Implement
What goes into the size portion of the data protection phase?
discover any existing remote replication environment
identify application groups requiring protection and gather performance data
size storage out
What does the plan portion of the data protection phase consist of?
consult to determine data protection goals
creates remote replication plan
connection and mobility interfaces used for replication systems
types of replication sessions for each application group
tests for replications
What goes into the implement phase of the data protection phase?
implement and test design
closely monitor implemented data protection solution with customer
