Moving EVA6000 to new data center
I'm looking for advice on how to approach the physical relocation:
Should HP engineers be engaged?
The sheer size of the EVA seems to make a "forklift" move impractical, if not impossible (we may have to remove several disk enclosures to access the bolt points for the rack). What are the implications of a full disassembly? (I know the disks have to be removed before an enclosure can be pulled.) Do the disks have to go back into the shelves in *precisely* the order removed?
Will we need to have some kind of recertification done on the array so it will be "blessed" by HP? If so, how long would this take?
Assuming all goes well and the system is reassembled and connected exactly as it was before, how long will it take the system to power up and "find itself" for availability?
Any guesses as to how long a full disassemble/reassemble will take, given maximum human workhours assigned to the move?
Any comments, suggestions, anecdotes based on experience, etc, will be appreciated.

Re: Moving EVA6000 to new data center
Sounds like you should use HP engineers. They should have experiance on moving EVA's and be able to give you advice/answers to all of your questions and if anything does go wrong because you are using their services they should be able to sort things out quickly.

Re: Moving EVA6000 to new data center
I have moved EVAs before and it can be quite tricky for the "first timer". Go with the experts at HP.

I would also do a full check of all paths of all HBA's before the move to insure that you uncover any other issues before you move hardware.

Re: Moving EVA6000 to new data center
I work for HP Reseller who specializes in EVA. I have helped several customers perform EVA moves to new data centres - it seems to be an increasing trend!!
My advice to you would be to involve a reseller to help you move the kit, a decent reseller will have shipping crates, prefered hauliers, and (most importantly) a large checklist of tasks to complete before, during and after the move. HP may help you, but if only one EVA is to be moved the revenue from that job wont hit their radar.
The company I work for won UK Storage Reseller of the year. We also operate in the US.

If you dont choose us, you will doing yourself and your data a favour by using someone who has done this before.
