CICM Steps

Hi Guys,

I have to migrate 2 existing Centera Clusters (6 nodes per cluster) to 2 new ones (4 nodes per cluster).

So I looked at the EMC-Procedure and if I´m right (in "short" steps ->

1) HW Install of the new cube Switches (interconnect with existing cube switches) and 4 Nodes on every site

2) adding the new 4 nodes as a new cube to the cluster (where already one cube exists)

3) move the external role (access) to the new cube

4) start the CICM

My question will be, at point 3 above -> if I have moved the external roles to the new cube, what will happen ?

a) no other roles on the new nodes/cubes are necessary (will the other roles, as storage, automatically migrated to the new nodes?)

b) is the running replication (to the 2nd cluster) affected (after moving the access role) ?

b) is the (read/write) access to the "old" objects on the "old" cube affected (after moving the access role) ?

c) during the CICM, where will be the new objects stored (directly on the new cube) ?

Maybe - if there is another very important point, which I have forgotten,

I would be very thankful for your help and replies!

Thanks & Regards,

Robert
