• Create High Availability Pair for Migration
This service template creates a high availability pair from a VSM between two storage systems.
• Migrate Data Using High Availability Pair
This service template provides online data migration between two storage systems.
NOTE:
The performance of Data Mobility services are affected by the storage access mode setting of
Configuration Manager. We recommend you to set "fcConnectionMode" to obtain higher performance. For
details, see "Appendix A. Changing the communication mode of the REST API server" in the
HPE XP7
Configuration Manager REST API Reference Guide
.
Data mobility service prerequisites
To use the Data Mobility services, an administrator must complete the following prerequisites:
• Configuration REST API
Install the XP7 Configuration Manager REST API on each site and register the storage systems by
using the
Add Web Service Connections
option on the
Administration
tab.
• VSM recognition across all storage systems
Assign a common resource group name to all VSMs used in the data mobility services and then
modify the associated shared service property.
To ensure VSMs are recognized across storage systems for Data Mobility services, complete the
following steps:
1.
Specify the same resource group name for all VSMs across sites. When creating a resource group
name, you must adhere to the following rules:
Storage System Model
(
Virtual Serial Number
)
For example:
XP7(200000)
2.
Using the
Set Service Shared Property
option, update the Virtual Storage Machine Name shared
property and enter the common VSM resource group names for that value.
