Scenario:

The consultant is reviewing a customer's storage and backup infrastructure design for a possible upgrade new solution design. The existing environment consists of several HP DL servers connected to HP 24 SAN Switches. An HP Enterprise Virtual Array 4400 is used as storage for their virtualized servers. Some HP D2700 Storage Systems are direct connected to their Windows servers. An HP StoreOnce D2D 4106fc Backup System is used as primary backup target. Once a week backup data copied to an HP MSL4048 as secondary backup target using HP Data Protector (DP) 6.1, During the planning phase the consultant has to propose whether the existing solution can be upgraded or a new solution design is required. Refer to the scenario:

Your customer is concerned about downtime the data migration from their array to the HP 3PARStoreServ 7000 Storage System you proposed. Which statement should you include in your proposal to best address this concern?

Accepted Answer

D. The Online Import functionality of an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System can be used to migrate the data. HP 3PAR StoreServ Online Import is a purpose-built, non-disruptive migration tool that presents EVA LUNs directly to the 3PAR controller, which then transparently migrates data to 3PAR native storage while hosts continue reading and writing without interruption. This feature specifically supports the HP Enterprise Virtual Array platform as a source, making it the architecturally correct and vendor-supported method for migrating from the EVA 4400 to a 3PAR StoreServ without incurring application downtime or requiring a maintenance window.

Answer

A. The HP Enterprise Virtual Array 4400 can be added as external storage to migrate the data. The HP Enterprise Virtual Array 4400 cannot be added as external storage to a 3PAR StoreServ for migration purposes - this is not a supported connectivity or migration topology between these two platforms.

Answer

B. An HP 3PAR Remote Copy relationship can be established to prevent downtime during migration. HP 3PAR Remote Copy is a replication feature designed exclusively for synchronous and asynchronous replication between two 3PAR StoreServ systems and cannot establish a replication relationship with an EVA 4400.

Answer

C. An HP Continuous Access relationship can be established to prevent downtime during migration. HP Continuous Access is the EVA platform's own native replication solution for EVA-to-EVA replication over distance and does not have the capability to replicate or migrate data from an EVA to a 3PAR StoreServ.
