Centera running out of space, can vault data be migrated to another device?
Our Centera storage for EV data is due to run out of space in 6 months. I imagine data can be ported from EMC to EMC, can it be migrated to other storage devices while retaining the EV history? What other devices does anyone recommend for performance, price and convenience of use?
if you're getting a new centera then the process would be that you create a new EV partition on the new centera, close the old partition(s), have EMC migrate the data on the backend from centera to centera and lastly, update the old partitions with the new location info for the new centera.
if you're going to a new storage platform then its recommended to use a 3rd party tool to migrate your data for a boatload of reasons which we can elaborate on but it doesnt sound like such is your case.
