Diskxtender Migration Questions
I am pretty new to the Centera and DiskXtender. I am trying to get completly off the Centera so it can be decommisioned. We have a couple of file servers that have DiskXtended drives on them. What is the easiest and cleanest way to migrate off of the extended drives? Is there a way to tell how much data is on the extended drives so i can make sure i have the available space to migrate them?

Hello derebene -
My company (Interlock Technology, www.interlock-tech.com) is an EMC partner that offers a full DX/Centera -> NAS migration service.
We have unique software that copies DX/W, DX/UL and DX-NAS data ( also FMA/CTA, CUA and selected Centera API apps) directly from the Centera to a NAS target without impacting the DX hosts or normal production use of the archive tier. The DX hosts do not even need to be fully functional for our service to work. In the end, you get a full clone of all the data being presented from your DX servers today with all filenames, paths, timestamps, WORM retention and ACLs preserved, but there are no stubs on the target only 'hydrated' files.
We are able to copy the data from Centera at high speed, typically 3TB/day for typical office files (higher speeds for larger files such as medical image archives). We also provide full pre- and post- migration reporting including a detailed migration report that includes cryptographic hash values (stronger than those used by Centera) for each file which can be used to prove authenticity and chain-of-custody.
You can speak to your EMC account rep about our services or contact us directly if intereted.
