Hi all,
Need to migrate data off a legacy PureDisk system into 5230 and I need some clarification on the process.
HOWTO89017 states "NetBackup cannot use the storage hardware while PureDisk uses it for storage. The structure of the PureDisk storage is different than the structure of the storage for integrated NetBackup deduplication. The disk systems cannot be used simultaneously by both NetBackup and PureDisk. The PureDisk images on the storage cannot be transferred to the deduplication storage server storage. Therefore, to migrate from NetBackup PureDisk to the NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Option, Symantec recommends that you age the PureDisk storage pool backups until they expire".
HOWTO - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO89017
I've read about the migration utility on the 5230 appliance that can apparently migrate data from PureDisk to MSDP (just not over fibre channel).
Has anyone successfully used the migration utility to migrate data off PureDisk to an MSDP or using any other method?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
