In a second step, the source and destination systems are selected in the “Configuration” pane of the “Settings” section
in P6000 Command View. The source EVA P6000 system is discovered automatically by Command View when clicking
the “Add Source” button. To select the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ system, click on the “Add Destination” button
and supply the IP address of the array, credentials for it with Super rights, and the port number value for the Event and
Secure CLI ports if deviating from the defaults. Upon clicking the “Add Destination” button, the wizard validates access
to the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ system using the credentials supplied and verifies the version of HP 3PAR OS on
the system. The presence of a license for Online Import on the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ system is also checked.
If the license is not present, an error message appears on screen about the nature of the problem. Figure 3 shows a
screenshot from P6000 Command View for selecting the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ system.
Figure 3. Adding an HP 3PAR StoreServ to the Online Import configuration
The EVA P6000 – HP 3PAR StoreServ setup just defined survives logouts from P6000 Command View and reboots of
the server running the Command View instance. Changes to this setup, e.g., in the identification of the EVA P6000, the
IP address of the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ or its credentials requires rerunning of the configuration setup. Once
the HP 3PAR StoreServ system is validated, we move to the “Storage Systems” section in the P6000 Command View GUI
and open the “Virtual Disks” tree of the selected EVA P6000 to activate a new tab called “EVA to 3PAR Online Import” in
the upper right corner of the GUI.
In the third step, the vdisks to migrate from the source EVA P6000 to the destination HP 3PAR StoreServ system are
selected. A software wizard helps the administrator pick the vdisks for the migration using explicit and implicit selection
rules. At first the administrator selects a single vdisk or host. We will illustrate the steps taken in the wizard for a minimally
disruptive Online Import migration of two vdisks called Vdisk001 and Vdisk002 located on an EVA P6000 called
PeerEVA and presented to a Windows host named Blade-2. Figure 4 shows the wizard screen when Vdisk001
was selected by the administrator. Note the wizard can be stopped at any moment by clicking the “Cancel” button on
the local screen.
