Cisco Data Mobility Manager
The Cisco MDS Data Mobility Manager (DMM) is a fabric-based SAN software
application that enables movement of data blocks from a source device to a
destination device. Such movement is typically needed to address array lease
expiration events, capacity planning, and implementation of tiered storage
strategies. Cisco MDS DMM is supported when either a Cisco MDS 9000 Family 32-
Port Storage Services Module or Cisco MDS 9000 Family 18/4-Port Multiservice
Module is installed in a Cisco MDS 9513 director.
The Cisco MDS DMM feature is enabled through a separate end-user software
license. There are five types of DMM licenses:
■
A license for enabling DMM on a Cisco MDS 9513 director
■
A license for enabling DMM on a Cisco MSM 18/4 module contained within an
MDS 92xx chassis
■
A license for enabling DMM on a Cisco MSM 18/4 module contained within an
MDS 95xx chassis
■
A license for enabling DMM on a Cisco MDS 9000 Family 32-Port Storage Services
Module (Cisco SSM) contained within a Cisco MDS 9513 director
■
A license for enabling DMM on a Cisco SSM module contained within an MDS
95xx chassis.
