1Migration

NOTE: These reference names are used throughout this user guide:

• HP StorageWorks Command View XP, version 2.x, is called Command View

• HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition is called Command View AE

• HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console is called Remote Web Console

Migration overview

HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition (Command View AE) is the first release of a new

strategic device manager in the Command View XP portfolio. It provides additional, complementary

features to the Remote Web Console.

HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console (Remote Web Console) was previously delivered as an

array-management graphical user interface (GUI) that required Command View 2.x; it is now offered as a

standalone array-management option.

This user guide provides information that is necessary for transitioning to an environment that is best suited

for your array management needs. Use it to define, implement, and tailor migration for your storage

environment.

The following information will help to guide you through the migration process:

• Planning your migration, and evaluating the benefits to and impact on your current environment (see

”Migration planning” on page 12)

• Evaluating Command View AE and Command View (see ”Comparison of Command View AE and

Command View” on page 13)

• Understanding Remote Web Console (see ”HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console” on page 15)

• Determining the appropriate migration procedures for your particular storage environment. (See

Table 10 on page 20)

• Using the migration procedures to transition to your preferred environment (see ”Migration procedures”

on page 22)

• Performing application-related migration (see ”Application-related migrations” on page 28)

• Using the CLI Migration Tool (see ”CLI migration” on page 31.)

NOTE: See the readme.txt file in the migration kit for the most current requirements and any last-minute

announcements.

The migration might affect other aspects of your array-management environment. For example, Command

View and Command View AE cannot manage the same arrays concurrently.

This guide helps you understand and accommodate such issues.
