The following table lists the general requirements for performing GAD pair migration.

Item Requirement

Migration source and target storage systems

Support for GAD pair migration depends on the combinations of the source and target storage system models and their DKCMAIN microcode versions. For details, see Migration source and target storage systems below.

Remote paths and ports
  • The remote paths and the ports between the source and the target primary storage systems.
  • The remote paths and the ports between the target primary and secondary storage systems.
  • The host paths and the ports between the target primary and secondary storage systems, and the server.
  • The external paths and ports between the target storage systems and the external storage system for quorum disks.
Setup procedure VSM auto-configuration is available for GAD pair migration only for the configuration specified in Migrating a GAD pair using VSM auto-configuration or VSM manual configuration (below). For other configurations, use VSM manual configuration. When you use GAD to migrate a GAD site consisting of VSP 5000 series storage systems to a GAD site consisting of VSP One B85 storage systems, you can use VSM auto-configuration to create a GAD pair consisting of VSP One B85 storage systems in the migration target GAD configuration.
