Example 8-24 Rename the MDisks6. Rename all the SVC MDisks from their default names (such as mdisk9 <strong>and</strong> mdisk10) tomatch the volume names used on the <strong>XIV</strong>. An example of this is shown in Example 8-24(limited to just two MDisks). You can match the ctrl_LUN_# value to the LUN ID assignedwhen mapping the volume to the SVC (for reference also see Example 8-18 on page 256).Be aware that the ctrl_LUN field displays LUN IDs using hexadecimal numbering, whereasthe <strong>XIV</strong> displays them using decimal numbering. This means that <strong>XIV</strong> LUN ID 10 displaysas ctrl_LUN ID A.<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdisk -filtervalue mdisk_grp_id=4id name status mode mdisk_grp_id capacity ctrl_LUN_# controller_name9 mdisk9 online managed 4 1520.0GB 0000000000000000 <strong>XIV</strong>_2810600008110 mdisk10 online managed 4 1520.0GB 0000000000000001 <strong>XIV</strong>_28106000081<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask chmdisk -name SVCDemo_1 mdisk9<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svctask chmdisk -name SVCDemo_2 mdisk10<strong>IBM</strong>_2145:SVCSTGDEMO:admin>svcinfo lsmdisk -filtervalue mdisk_grp_id=4id name status mode mdisk_grp_id capacity ctrl_LUN_# controller_name9 SVCDemo_1 online managed 4 1520.0GB 0000000000000000 <strong>XIV</strong>_2810600008110 SVCDemo_2 online managed 4 1520.0GB 0000000000000001 <strong>XIV</strong>_28106000081Now we must follow one of the migration strategies, as described in the 8.7, “Data movementstrategy overview” on page 259.8.7 Data movement strategy overviewThere are three possible data movement strategies that we detail in this section <strong>and</strong> insubsequent sections.8.7.1 Using SVC migration to move dataYou can use st<strong>and</strong>ard SVC migration to move data from MDisks presented by a non-<strong>XIV</strong> diskcontroller to MDisks resident on the <strong>XIV</strong>. This process does not require a host outage, butdoes not allow the MDisk group extent size to be changed. At a high level, the process is asfollows:1. We start with existing VDisks in an existing MDisk Group. We must confirm the extent sizeof that MDisk group. We call this the source MDisk group.2. We create 1632 GB sized volumes on the <strong>XIV</strong> <strong>and</strong> map these to the SVC.3. We detect these new MDisks <strong>and</strong> use them to create an MDisk group. We call this thetarget Mdisk group. The target MDisk group must use the same extent size as the sourceMDisk group.4. We migrate each VDisk from the source MDisk group to the target MDisk group.5. When all the VDisks are migrated we can choose to delete the source MDisks <strong>and</strong> thesource MDisk group (in preparation for removing the non-<strong>XIV</strong> storage).We discuss this method in greater depth in 8.8, “Using SVC migration to move data to <strong>XIV</strong>” onpage 261.Chapter 8. SVC migration with <strong>XIV</strong> 259
