Looking to understand what options we have to replicate data off of a physical SQL server leveraging VNX 5300 to a new physical SQL server leveraging Nimble.
Current options are: backup/restore, robocopy
Challenge - size of SQL is 3.2 TB.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionYou have various options:
- Create new Nimble volume, disconnect database, copy MDF/LDF to Nimble volumes, reconnect database.
- Use SQL AlwaysOn to sync two copies of the MDF/LDF - one on EMC, the other on Nimble volumes, then tear down the AO server which is connecting to the old EMC storage.
- Backup/Restore (I wouldn't do this).
- Something such as DoubleTake to replicate the data.
If you have the capability, then AlwaysOn would be a good option.
The easiest would be just to disconnect the database and copy the datasets across. That would require a maintenance window, but would be easy
