I recommend that you configure your IBM LUNs very much like you've configured your EMC LUNs. But might help to put them on different FCP adapters. (If there is/was any adapter re-use, which often does make sense.) How are the EMC volumes defined now? how many paths? Are you using LVM? If so, you can _possibly let LVM do the actual migration_. That's a big help. Is the IBM storage on different switches or the same fabric? As far as filesystems and data, a LUN is a LUN. Seriously. It should not be difficult once the layout is identified. -- Rick Troth Senior Software Developer Velocity Software Inc.
