Procedure 1 To use an external volume for volume migration

1.

Map the external volume. If using the external volume as a source volume, set Emulation Type
to OPEN-V. This is required to access existing data in an external volume from the local system
(for volume migration as well as replication).

2.

Ensure that both volumes have the same capacity. Adjust the capacity as needed using the
LUSE and the Virtual LVI/Virtual LUN functions.

3.

Set the source and target volumes.

4.

Migrate the data using Auto LUN.
