A customer wants to migrate Hitachi AMS2300 data to a newly acquired Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system. Which statement about the migration is correct?

Question

Options

• AModular Volume Migration can be used.
• BTrueCopy or TrueCopy Extended Distance can be used.
• CThe Data Migration license key is required on both sides.
• DThe Data Migration license key is only required on the HUS.

• B

• C
  4% (1)
• D

Explanation

TrueCopy and TrueCopy Extended Distance are Hitachi's replication-based tools that operate across heterogeneous Hitachi storage platforms, making them the correct choice when migrating between different storage families - in this case, from the AMS (Adaptable Modular Storage) series to the HUS (Unified Storage) series.

A is wrong because Modular Volume Migration (MVM) is designed for intra-family migrations within the AMS/WMS/SMS modular storage line; the HUS is a different product family, so MVM is not compatible in this cross-platform scenario.

C is wrong because the Data Migration license is required only on the destination (HUS) side, not on both systems - making "both sides" factually incorrect.

D is wrong (despite being partially true about the HUS license) because Data Migration is not the appropriate tool for this AMS2300-to-HUS migration path; TrueCopy is the supported method, rendering the entire Data Migration approach irrelevant here.

Memory tip: Think "TC = True Cross-platform" - TrueCopy is Hitachi's bridge between different storage families. Whenever a question involves migrating between an AMS-series system and a non-AMS system like HUS, TrueCopy (sync) or TrueCopy Extended Distance (async) is almost certainly the right answer.
