12 Migration
Migration planning
This section helps you analyze and plan your migration.
Recommended configurations
Table 2 will help you to select the appropriate configuration, depending on the functionality required for
your storage environment. The following options are referenced within the table.
Option 1
Move to Command View AE (stop using Command View).
Option 2
Continue to use Command View for existing arrays and start to use Command View AE for newly
purchased arrays and for transitioning management of arrays. Two types of configurations are possible
with this option:
a. Co-install Command View AE and Command View on the same system
b. Install Command View AE and Command View on different systems (co-existing in the same SAN)
CAUTION: Do not use both Command View and Command View AE to manage the same array(s). This
type of management is not supported.
