Data Migration from HP EVA to 3PAR SUSE 10,11

[TWRockstar]

Hello friends,

Need your valuable ideas and suggestions.

We are planning to migrate from EVA to 3PAR using mpx router offline migration.I am not a storage expert so i need some help with this. After long research on several websites including SPOCK i got to know that currently our linux servers are running native multipathing and it is supported by 3PAR so on linux side we don't need to un-install before migration and reinstall MPIO after migrating to 3PAR as on Windows 2003 we uninstall and re-install.

Currently my configuration:
Present sorage array is HP EVA (source) and planning to migrate to 3PAR(destination array)
SUSE Linux version 10 and patchlevel 4 x86_64
Using Native multipathing.
HBA emulex with port speed 4gbit
device-mapper-1.02.13-6.18.7
multipath-tools-0.4.7-34.66.1
qlogic-firmware-1.0-13.23.1

We performed host based migration but this array based migration like block to block so we are new to this kind of migration.

I thought like before migration start i will update my multipath configuration file with 3PAR device as recommended and then umount filesystem(commenting the storage path in /etc/fstab), shutdown the host. After migration  completes poweron the host start the multipath and uncomment the storage paths in /etc/fstab, mount the filesystem.

Are these correct steps and do we need to perform any additional task. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Tim Wright.
