About online migration service templates

You can now use Hitachi Ops Center Automator for Nondisruptive Data Migration (NDM).

The following online migration service templates are available:

Online Migration

Enables you to migrate a host in an online state through Ops Center Protector, access the switch management server to obtain existing fabric configuration and zoning information when allocating new volumes to the host, and then update the zoning information.

Migrate Data for Online Migration Pair

Enables you to run a service from the swap of copy pairs to the deletion of source volumes for online host migration through Configuration Manager. Before submitting this service, the Create Online Migration Pair service must be completed.

Clean up Online Migration Pair

Enables you to clean up the resources created by the Create Online Migration Pair task.

Create Online Migration Pairs for Multiple Hosts

Enables you to submit a Create Online Migration Pair service task for each specified host. After the auto-submitted tasks are complete, you must submit the Migrate Data for Online Migration Pair service for each task to complete the migration.

The Ops Center Automator online migration services use Global-active device (GAD) (as part of, or to complete) the migration process.

• For step-by-step instructions for setting up GAD before using the Online Migration service template or for any other purpose, go to Setting up global-active device.
• If you already set up GAD, and want to use the online migration templates, go to Migrating online data and Online Migration: Service details or Migrating online data with Configuration Manager, Create Online Migration Pair: Service details, and Migrate Data for Online Migration Pair: Service details.
