Important: You cannot use the <strong>XIV</strong> data migration function to migrate data to a sourcevolume in an <strong>XIV</strong> remote mirror pair. If you need to do this, migrate the data first <strong>and</strong>then create the remote mirror after the migration is completed.If you want to manually create the volumes on the <strong>XIV</strong>, consult 7.5, “Manually creating themigration volume” on page 207. Preferably, instead continue with the next step, discussedin the following section<strong>XIV</strong> volume automatically createdThe <strong>XIV</strong> has the ability to determine the size of the non-<strong>XIV</strong> volume <strong>and</strong> create the <strong>XIV</strong>quickly when the data migration object is defined. This method is easy, which helps avoidpotential issues when manually calculating the real block size of a volume.1. In the <strong>XIV</strong> GUI go to the floating menu Remote <strong>Migration</strong>.2. Right-click <strong>and</strong> choose Define Data <strong>Migration</strong>. This brings up a panel like that shown inFigure 7-9.– Destination Pool: Choose the pool from the drop-down menu where the volume will becreated.– Destination Name: Enter a user-defined name. This will be the name of the local <strong>XIV</strong>volume.– Source Target <strong>System</strong>: Choose the already defined non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage device from thedrop-down menu.Important: If the non-<strong>XIV</strong> device is active/passive, then the source target systemmust represent the controller (or service processor) on the non-<strong>XIV</strong> device thatcurrently owns the source LUN being migrated. This means that you must check,from the non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage, which controller is presenting the LUN to the <strong>XIV</strong>.Figure 7-9 Define Data <strong>Migration</strong> object/volume– Source LUN: Enter the decimal value of the host LUN ID as presented to the <strong>XIV</strong> fromthe non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage system. Certain storage devices present the LUN ID as hex. Thenumber in this field must be the decimal equivalent. Ensure that you do not accidentallyuse internal identifiers that you may also see on the source storage systems198 <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>Storage</strong> <strong>System</strong>: <strong>Copy</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Migration</strong>
