    Recommended tools for data migration
    Recommended tools for data migration
    Service tools provide a standardized method for performing useful functions such as
    remote data collection, configuration, and storage management tasks.
    The following service tools are used to gather and parse data:

    • OneCollect

    NetApp Active IQ OneCollect, available with a web-based UI or the CLI, helps you collect data from
    storage, hosts, fabrics, and switches in both SAN and NAS environments. The collected data is used for
    troubleshooting, solution validation, data migration, and upgrade assessments. The diagnostic content
    related to your environment can be either sent to NetApp for further analysis or analyzed on-premises.

    • NetApp Data Migration Solaris Relabeler

    Solaris Relabeler is a command-line utility that provides the ability to update the ASCII label on volume
    table of contents (VTOC) disks after migration.

    During the initial VTOC disk initialization routines, the Solaris format command performs a SCSI inquiry
    against the disk and writes vendor-specific information (manufacturer, product, and revision) to the disk
    label. All further inquiries are directed to the disk label and not to the actual device. Block-level migration
    copies this disk label to the new disk, and old SCSI inquiry data is still visible in the system tools and logs.
    The relabeler updates the disks post-migration with new inquiry data.

    These tools and utilities are also useful in FLI migration projects:

    • Interoperability Matrix

    The Interoperability Matrix tool (IMT) is a NetApp web-based utility that is used for interoperability checks
    for NetApp, FlexArray, and third-party software components.

    • ONTAP System Manager

    ONTAP System Manager provides remote storage management of NetApp FAS systems using a graphical
    interface.

    • OnCommand Workflow Automation

    WFA is a software solution that enables you to create storage workflows and automate storage
    management tasks such as provisioning, migrating, decommissioning, and cloning storage.

    Benchmarks for estimating migration durations


    For planning purposes certain assumptions can be used to estimate the level of effort and
    duration of data migrations.
    To get an accurate estimate of your actual performance, you should run a number of test migrations of different
    sizes in order to get accurate performance numbers for your specific environments.

    The following benchmarks are strictly for planning purposes and are unlikely to be particularly
    accurate for specific environments.

    Assumptions: Five hours per host migration based on a host with 8 LUNs with a total of 2 TB of data. These
    parameters provide a planning number of approximately 400 GB per hour.
