Types of data migration

This section describes the following types of data migration:

  • Migrating data from LVM to Storage Foundation using offline migration

    When you install Storage Foundation, you may already have some volumes that are controlled by the Logical Volume Manager. You can preserve your data and convert these volumes to Veritas Volume Manager volumes.

  • Migrating data from a native file system to a Veritas File System (VxFS) file system using online migration

    See About online migration.

  • Migrating data between platforms using Cross-platform Data Sharing (CDS)

    Storage Foundation lets you create disks and volumes so that the data can be read by systems running different operating systems. CDS disks and volumes cannot be mounted and accessed from different operating systems at the same time. The CDS functionality provides an easy way to migrate data between one system and another system running a different operating system.

  • Migrating data between arrays

    Storage Foundation supports arrays from various vendors. If your storage needs change, you can move your data between arrays.

    Note:

    The procedures are different if you plan to migrate to a thin array from a thick array.
