Non-disruptive Storage Migration
Non-disruptive Storage Migration is a function that migrates the volume data from an old storage
system to volumes in a new storage system without stopping a business server in cases such as
when replacing a storage system.
The connection interface between the migration source storage system (external storage system)
and the migration destination storage system (local storage system) is only the FC cable. In addi-
tion, the direct connection and switch connection topologies are supported.

The maximum number of migration target volumes in the external
storage system that can be imported simultaneously to the local
storage system

*1: The number of migration target volumes that are imported to the local storage system is add-
ed to the number of volumes in the local storage system.
Connect the external storage system to the local storage system ETERNUS DX using FC cables. Af-
ter the connection is established, add multipath connections between the local storage system and
the business server to prepare for the data migration.
