Un-encapsulating host devices and removing VPLEX from environment

The customer would like to totally remove VPLEX from the environment. The existing LUNs are presented from a PowerMax 8000 via Cisco 9710 to VPLEX. The VPLEX is running Geo 6.2.x code. The host OS are AIX 7.x, Windows and Solaris.

I am planning to do the following to by-pass VPLEX and re-assign the LUNs directly from PMAX.

Please let me know if the steps are good or did I miss anything.

• Zone Host to PMAX FA
• Create new IG,PG,SG for host with the same set of LUNs that was in use under VPLEX
• Server team to shutdown host
• Remove devices and delete VPLEX storage view
• Delete host masking view (of VPLEX)
• Create new host masking view with PMAX FA
• Server team to boot up and follow their steps
• If no issues, Dismantle VPLEX constructs

Also, will the AIX hosts see the same PVID or will it change when presented directly from PMAX?

Appreciate your expert comment.
