GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS
 Migrating hosts must have access and be zoned to both the source and target array
 Migrating hosts must use fibre channel connectivity
SESSION LIMITS
 16 Storage Groups can be migrated concurrently.
o Child SGs do not count towards this limit.
 Each Storage Group can contain up to 4096 devices.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
 For full connectivity information see the following:
o RDF Interfamily Connectivity Guide
o NDM Connectivity Support Article (support.emc.com)
 Solutions Enabler 8.3 or later
 Unisphere for VMAX 8.3 or later
 Solutions Enabler or Unisphere control host
 Supported host operating system and multi-pathing software
 Supported cluster software (if applicable)
 To enable the ability for SGs with existing DR in SRDF/S mode to be migrated the following minimum code levels are required:
 Vmax with Enginuity 5876.309.xxx & Fix 90270 (Epack)
 VMAX3 or All Flash with HYPERMAX 0S 5977 Q2 2017 Release

CONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTS AND PREREQUISITES
Most of the steps for configuring and un-configuring NDM is done automatically using the environment setup and remove commands.
Prior to running the setup, the following is required:
• SRDF must be enabled in the bin file.
• The source and target arrays must have SRDF directors and ports configured.
• SRDF Ports on the Target array must be configured across at least two Directors with a minimum of 2 Ports up to a maximum
of 8.
• The SRDF ports between the source and target arrays in a Fibre Channel environment must be zoned to each other.
• A Solutions Enabler or Unisphere management host that sees at least one of the arrays must be available.
• Both the source and target array are connected to the same SAN.
