20 Migration
Installation scenarios
Several different scenarios are available for coexistence and migration. Use Table 10 to determine the
appropriate migration procedures for your particular storage environment. The five scenarios use
Command View AE, Remote Web Console, and Command View in various arrangements. To implement a
scenario, see ”Migration procedures” on page 22.
