Re: Shark to EMC

I would think that the only way to mirror in a multi-vendor environment
would be XRC. The reason is because all the replication goes through the
system mover and thus is at a higher level than the bare metal.

Having said that, I would also add that the reason it can be done is the
very reason you would want to seriously consider whether to do this.
Performance of this configuration will not compare to PPRC. This would be a
decision based on function desired not performance required.

Everyone else has answered well what can be used to move the data from one
place to another. The only thing I would add to that list is LDMF should
you desire a change between disk models during the conversion. FDRPAS and
TDMF will not move at the data set level to fully use larger model disks
with data sets from many smaller volumes. LDMF will do this without an
outage to the owning application. FDRMOVE is similar to LDMF in function
not in the method of delivering the function and does require an outage to
accomplish the move.

There are many products that have been mentioned, hopefully, I have
correctly described each one. They are all good products and deserve your
analysis to determine if they will meet your needs. XRC is the only method
I can imagine would handle mirroring as opposed to moving the data.

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

Innovation's FDRPAS can be used to move data from one subsystem to
another while the volumes are hot. TDMF (not sure who's vending it
these days) does too.

The original post asked about mirroring.
Everybody, so far, responded about moving.
I don't know the answer, but there is a difference!
