VPLEX Batch-migrate pairing tips

Hello All ,

Recently we started off with tech refresh to move away from old CX's. We are using extent migrations for this purpose.

I have noticed that extents do not get paired in order we specify in create-plan, this causes issue;s when you have multiple luns of the same size. check-plan goes well, but random pairing does cause an issue as we are trying to work out scripts for this ( which do not go that well when things get paired randomly and there a huge number of of LUNS to do this via GUI )

A quick example below to elaborate;

• Lets assume we have 3 x 10 GB luns which we need to migrate
• batch-migrate create-plan --file server_alpha_to_beta -f A,B,C -t X,Y,Z
• if we check the file created on management server the pairing is random
• batch-migrate check-plan - passed. followed by "start"
• Session summary will show progress.

I would like to avoid editing the file created on management server to get the pairing right.

Is there a way to control source / target pairing in create-plan command ?

Thanks,

Vignesh
