how to migrate from netapp ODM to emc symm ODM

Hi All,

Did anyone migrate from netapp odm to symm odm on an AIX server?  after migrating a test server from netapp to vmax we realized that we have NOT installed symm odm fileset.  I guess netapp ODM fileset is controlling vmax luns??  Now how do I safely migrate to EMC symm ODM.

Thanks

Before making any changes, collect host logs to document the current configuration. At a minimum, save the following: inq, lsdev -Cc disk, lsdev -Cc adapter, lspv, and lsvg

-       - Shutdown the application(s), unmount the file system(s), and varyoff all volume groups except for rootvg

- -     - Do not export the volume groups

-       - varyoffvg

-       - Check with.....lsvg -o (confirm that only rootvg is varied on)

- -     - Delete all hdisk devices (Except internal devices!)  rmdev –dl hdisk

-       - Remove all Fiber driver instances rmdev -Rdl fscsiX   --->   X being driver instance number  i.e. 0,1,2, etc.

- -     - Verify through lsdev -Cc driver that there are no more fiber driver instances (fscsi)

-       - Change the adapter instances in Defined state rmdev -l fcsX --->   X being adapter instance number  i.e. 0,1,2, etc.

-       - Uninstall the NetApp ODM fileset

--     - Install the EMC ODM fileset

-       - cfgmgr
