migrating from Vmax 20k to Vmax 10k while adding vplex
So the short of it is that my organization is doing a complete storage refresh at both our prod and dr sites. What I am specifically after is any insight as to migrating data from my existing 20K to my new 10K and what the process will be like. Also, we are adding a vplex to our prod and dr site and want to know what potential gotchas there might be? We do have professional services engaged but not until we get closer to moving stuff around will professional services be around. Did i mention that we have an as400 as well?
Thoughts?

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and questions can go unanswered for a long time.
You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Symmetrix Support Forum".

Seeing though that over 1 month has elapsed since you posted, maybe you have already found the answer (possibly opened up a ticket with support)? If so, once relocated, consider sharing the resolution and also marking the question as "Answered" so that it can help others that have the same question. If not, once relocated, it will then have more visibility by the community of dedicated customers, partners, and EMC employees that are eager to assist.

Good Day rstickalnd
Are you Looking at First implementing Vplex Prior to the storage Refresh or will you first do the storage refresh and then implement Vplex..?
Kind Regards
Michael

There are a couple of ways How you could complete the Migration, As seen as you will be implementing Vplex Prior to the storage refresh you could leverage off of the Data Mobility Functionality that the Vplex has to Offer to Complete the data Reallocation .
