MDS-Brocade Migration HP-UX 11.11 w/ MC\ServiceGuard

[pauldsimpson]

Hi all,

I am attempting to migrate a client running HP-UX 11.11 with MC\ServiceGuard (with voting disk in clusters) from an old McData SAN infrastructure to a new Brocade SAN.

I have pre-populated the zoning information to the new SAN, but am having issues getting downtime from the business side for the cluster reconfiguration & reboot to move over.

Anyone have a non-disruptive method of doing this? Any caveats or things to keep in mind? recommendations? Tips to reduce downtime?

VxVM / LVM mixture, no SecurePath or PowerPath

Server hardware includes N4000, rp5400, C7000 Blades

Current storage hardware is 5x HP EVA8000, 1x EMC DMX4

Thanks in advance
