SANCopy connections CX4 to VNX2
Hello,
I am trying to connect a CX4 (NS480) to a VNX2 with SANCopy. According to the document "MIGRATING DATA FROM AN EMC CLARIION ARRAY TO A VNX PLATFORM USING SANCOPY A how-to guide featuring best practices", as long as I don't use the Mirrorview port, this should work. I have used this CX4 years ago as the target but now it is the source. Do I need to do something else to get this to work?
The zoning shows below.
Fabric1
CX4 SPA4 ---> VNX2 SPA2
CX4 SPB4 ---> VNX2 SPB1
Fabric2
CX4 SPA5 ---> VNX2 SPA1
CX4 SPB5 ---> VNX2 SPB2
No Events found!

Both enablers are active. The initiator records do not show up on either array.

i also cross zone, ie
Fabric1
CX4 SPA4 ---> VNX2 SPA2
CX4 SPB4 ---> VNX2 SPB1
CX4 SPA4 ---> VNX2 SPB1
CX4 SPB4 ---> VNX2 SPA2
other that the zoning , not much else to do but to make sure CX4 ports login to VNX2 (i am assuming you have SANCopy enabler installed on CX4). Register CX4 initiators as SANCopy ports (sometimes i have to register source array as if it were just another host).

Tried that on both the CX4 and VNX2.
Don't remember what disk array but there was a time when I had to manually register the initiator records. In this case, they don't show up at all, on either array.

smart zoning is great, you can set both storage arrays as "both" or set CX4 as init and VNX2 as target.

Good grief, I found the problem.
I had smart-zoning mistakenly turned on. The fabric wasn't letting the two arrays chat because they are both "Storage" type of members.
Disabled smart-zoning and now the records show up on both arrays and even auto-registered.
Thanks.

on CX4 there should be an option "update SANCopy connections" ..or something like that ?
