Lets understand EMC Open Replicator product:- Open Replicator enables remote point-in-time copies with full or incremental copy capabilities to be used for high-speed data mobility, remote vaulting, migration, and distribution between EMC Symmetrix DMX and other qualified storage arrays. OR leverages the high-end Symmetrix storage architecture and offers unmatched deployment flexibility and massive scalability. EMC Open Replicator is tightly integrated with EMC TimeFinder and SRDF families of local and remote solutions. Open Replicator Functionality: - Protect lower-tier applications at remote locations. - Pushing or Pulling data from Symmetrix DMX arrays to other qualified storage arrays in SAN/WAN environments. - Create remote point-in-time copies of local production volumes for many purposes from data vaulting to remote testing and development. - Ensure immediate data availability to host applications via Symmetrix DMX consistency technologies.
7) Issuing create commands prior to Open Replicator migration activities allows confirmation that there will be no zoning or masking issues discovered during the migration window. This technique will only be successful if no changes have been made to the Symmetrix environment between issuance of the create and copy commands. 8) It is better and easier to use an Open Replicator management host for preparing, executing, and monitoring migration sessions than using one of the systems with volumes involved in the activity. 9) For Veritas file systems, PowerPath devices, and Oracle databases, when you activate the copy session devices must be frozen just before the activate is performed, and thawed as soon as the activate completes. Use the following options to with the symrcopy activate command, when applicable: -vxfs MountPoint -ppath srcdevs PowerPath device -rdb dbtype DbType -db DbName 10) The device specified in the command line must match the device in the device file or the activate will fail.
