NetApp to Dell EMC Migrations
Dear Experts,
I support Vodafone Cloud & Hosting, who would like to ingest/migrate customer data from NetApp FAS to their standard Dell EMC Unity / VMAX infrastructure. The simple support matrix details NetApp FAS systems, with 8.x OS. However, I believe VPLEX is Block only? If the NetApps are configured as Filers, do we still have a migration option please?
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
To provide a little more context:
The NetAPP filer can present block storage over FC.
Any Block LUN presented from the NetAPP can be encapsulated by VPLEX and migrated to the Unity array
Related collateral:
Storage provisioning tasks on the NetApp are not documented by Dell-EMC.

Hello Andy,
Our Champions advise that it's a file migration that you can use DataDobi/EMCopy/RoboCopy/Rsync, etc. on. There is no array based migration method though if that is what you are looking for. On VMAX btw. You will need a NAS head attached to it as the VMAX has no file capabilities native to it. eNAS works as that is a NAS head attached to a VMAX. On the UNITY side it has to also be using the file capabilities.. not the block capabilities. This has nothing to do with VPLEX.

Don't download Dell Migrate. I still have to download all my apps. What was my PC moving for 16 hours?
