TasknumberCompleted?Where toperformTask30 Host If non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage device drivers <strong>and</strong> other supporting software were notremoved earlier, remove them when convenient.When all the hosts <strong>and</strong> volumes have been migrated there are two site clean up tasks left, asshown in Table 7-3.Table 7-3 Site cleanup check listTask number Completed?

This section contains device-specific information, but it is not an exhaustive list.Ensure that the following requirements are understood for your storage device:LUN0LUN numberingMultipathingDefinitionsDo we need to specifically map a LUN to LUN ID zero? Thisdetermines whether you will have a problem defining the paths.Does the storage device GUI or CLI use decimal or hexadecimal LUNnumbering? This determines whether you must do a conversion whenentering LUN numbers into the <strong>XIV</strong> GUI.Is the device active/active or active/passive? This determines whetheryou define the storage device as a single target or as one target perinternal controller or service processor.Does the device have specific requirements when defining hosts?Converting hexadecimal LUN IDs to decimal LUN IDsWhen mapping volumes to the <strong>XIV</strong> it is very important to note the LUN IDs allocated by thenon-<strong>XIV</strong> storage. The methodology to do this varies by vendor <strong>and</strong> device. If the device useshexadecimal LUN numbering then it is also important to underst<strong>and</strong> how to converthexadecimal numbers into decimal numbers, to enter into the <strong>XIV</strong> GUI.Using a spreadsheet to convert hex to decimalMicrosoft Excel <strong>and</strong> Open Office both have a spreadsheet formula known as hex2dec. If, forexample, you enter a hexadecimal value into spreadsheet cell location A4, then the formula toconvert the contents of that cell to decimal is =hex2dec(A4). If this formula does not appear towork in Excel then add the Analysis ToolPak (within Excel go to the Tools menu Addins Select Analysis ToolPak).Chapter 7. Data migration 223
