" Yes, just to be clear with everyone it was about moving the data from FC storage to SATA storage.

We have started this by doing a vol copy to move the LUN's that were offline from FC to SATA and we are going to look at ReplicatorX for the rest.

If anyone has any further suggestions please let me know :)"

I like to use Snapmirror for data moves personally. Having the ability to do a final incremental sync before bringing the new volume online is nice.

The problem I have is these LUNs are for running VM's and our customers would not be so accepting of the downtime involved. If there is any way of doing this without user downtime then that has to be the path for us.

Really we need OnTAP GX with NFS based storage for the local disks of the VM's however that is a little while away in the environment we are using, maybe in our next cluster ;)

Take care
