Ops Center Automator data mobility service templates provide data mobility services that include provisioning and reserving LDEV IDs from a Virtual Storage Machine (VSM), creating remote copy pairs for migration, implementing online data migration, and reporting the virtualized configuration across multiple sites.
Ops Center Automator has the following data mobility service templates:
- Allocate Volumes from Virtual Storage Machine
This service template creates and allocates new volumes from a VSM while reserving the same LDEV IDs on other storage systems.
- Export Virtual Storage Machine Configuration Across Sites
This service template generates a report showing the VSM configuration details for multiple sites. The report can be edited and then exported to a specified file in .csv file format.
- 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 gives online data migration between two storage systems.
Data mobility service prerequisites
To use the Data Mobility services, an administrator must complete the following prerequisites:
- Ops Center API Configuration Manager
Install the Ops Center API Configuration Manager 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:
- 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:
VSP G800(400000)
- 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.
- Specify the same resource group name for all VSMs across sites. When creating a resource group name, you must adhere to the following rules:
