Migrate EMC Centera to Hitachi HCP

Hello.

I'm afraid 3rd party software is the best and fastest option. QT used to have a storage migration tool available, also Interlock seems to be possible.

If you do not mind migrating the archives will take a year, then use EV move archive.

As a representative of Veritas, I wish I could charge in here and tell you "No, no, the native tools will serve you well for this!" But that's...not true.

For 20-25 TB and the variety of archive types you mentioned, this really is more than the native stuff is designed for. You will not regret the decision to go with a partner product for this project.

Hi there,

I'm afraid you will have to use some 3rd party tools because the “Move Archive” feature, introduced with Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP4, allows you to move contents of Exchange (and Domino) mailbox and journal archives only.

Move Archive feature overview: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100001636

For the SharePoint and FSA archives, you may have to use a 3rd party tool from TransVault, Quatrotech or other vendors.

If I remember correctly, FSA archives can't be moved between storage types. For the rest, Quadrotech is likely your best bet.

Be aware, though that Centera is not a speed daemon and it's usually won't give you more than 1 Gbps throughput minus all neccessary overhead.

Move Archive will work too and it's free but slooooooooooowwwwwwww
