Clone or BCV prerequisites
Hi all , Am planning to have a clone or may use a BCV and wanna check the prerequisites first before creating the devices , i remember that it should be same Cyl. same hyper size, the clones will be on different boxes , DMX1000 and DMX4 .so the tracks size are diffrent also !
Creating a lun with 39322 = 18G on the old while its 32 on the new?
the device must be 288 in total ..
for the old box using 39322Cyl = 18*16 =288G
Using 39322 Cyl on the new ; 36*8=288 G
is this possible to replicate both devices ?? what are the clone and BCV prerequisites ? it should be the same number of metas ??

SYMCLI allow you to create clone copies of a source device on multiple target devices.
The source and target devices can be either standard devices or BCV devices as long
as they are all of the same size and emulation type (FBA or CKD). Clone copies of
striped or concatenated meta devices can also be created, but the source and target
meta devices must be completely identical in stripe count, stripe size, and capacity.

different boxes , DMX1000 and DMX4
Ok you have different boxes in your shop...
size are diffrent also !
Clone (or TF/Mirror) work locally. Thus different track size won't be an issue.
32 on the new?
We already discussed different track size a lot of times. Actual behaviour will depend on Solution Enabler version and "options" file configuration.
Yes, locally. Go create needed BCV/Clone devices and establish/create sessions.
You need the right license, you need BCV (or clone target) devices. That's it
Rules are strict. Same number of metamembers, each same size (or bigger) of original volume. Already discussed a few times... I bet someone may provide a direct link to previous threads

search for powerpath migration enabler on powerlink and you should find a ppt showing pros and cons of the different options
