In the guide for CFT, there is this little gem:

Platform models Copy-free transition is supported only on mid-end and high-end FAS systems and IBM N series systems. To view the supported platforms for 7-Mode and the target cluster nodes, see the Interoperability Matrix Tool.

The FAS2240x is a low end model and falls out right there.

Technically, it may work, but you would be on your own!

Sorry, I know not the answer you wanted

Hi All

Before I go too far down this rabbit hole I want to poll the group and see if anyone has some previous experience with this. I'm trying to migrate a FAS2240-2 7m system to a 9.1 cluster.

A copy-free transition would make the process much simpler. However, IMT and the docs say the entry range systems like the 2240 are not supported for CFT.

I don't see why it shouldn't work; I have IOM6s to replace the controllers and free QSFP SAS ports on the FAS8200 target system.

I haven't yet tried pushing ahead in the 7MTT to see how far it will let me go. I'm assuming there's logic in there that won't allow me to do the transition with a 2240 source controller.

Has anyone else tried this?

Does anyone know why this is unsupported?

Source: FAS2240-2, 8.2.4P5 7m
Target: FAS8200, 9.1P5

Thanks
