Re: Shark to EMC

Bob,

I'd be interested in both -- one-off occurrence and constant mirroring.
My answer may be a little flaky here because I don't have all the
details (management controlled and pricing has a lot to do with that).
Today, data exists on a SHARK.

For one-off occurrence, would it not make sense to go from a SHARK to
SHARK or DS8100 and not worry about future maintenance costs.

However, for constant mirroring the better (EMC vs DS8100) pricing model
would dictate terms.

Regards,
Jasbir

Jasbir,

Are you talking a one-off occurrence to move volumes or constant
mirroring?

TDMF (now owned by IBM) and FDRPAS are well-suited to perform the
former, but (and my knowledge could be dated here) not the latter. I did
hear of a rumor last year that EMC finally supported XRC, but had no
reason at the time to verify the rumor.

Which issue are you asking about?

Bob

Does anyone know of any utilities/products that facilitate mirroring
from IBM's Shark to an EMC DASD.

TDMF (Transparent Data Migration Facility) from Softek will do this.
