1 PowerPath Migration Enabler
Features and Benefits Note to Presenter: This presentation is intended to provide customers and prospects with a high-level overview of PowerPath Migration Enabler. This presentation is intended to provide you with an understanding of how EMC PowerPath Migration Enabler can eliminate application downtime during data migrations to ensure you optimal application availability and performance during bulk data moves.

2 Data Storage Essentials
Applications and Ecosystems SAN and SAN Resiliency Monitoring and Analytics AppSync iCDM Integrated copy data management with application consistency Connectrix SAN Storage Area Networking solution that enables servers to share block-based storage Storage Resource Manager On-premises monitoring and reporting to optimize heterogeneous storage environments VPLEX Enables continuous application availability and data mobility PowerPath Intelligently manages data paths between servers and storage within your SAN CloudIQ Cloud-based IT analytics and monitoring for Dell EMC Storage and Connectrix DevOps / IT Ops Resources Integration for VMware, Automation and Containers ClarityNow Capture, organize and manage massive amounts of unstructured data in seconds.

4 What is PowerPath Migration Enabler (PPME)?
Migrates LUNs seamlessly Streamlines data consolidation Increases LUN sizes without disrupting the user community Does not require Professional Services PPME is included with PowerPath Multipathing software Use Cases Technology Refresh Moves large amounts of data between arrays Lifecycle Management Easily manages data through its lifecycle

5 PowerPath Migration Enabler
Provides migrations and mobility Host-based copy Array-based copy Data copy and synchronization via the host Data synchronization happens via the host Data copy is performed by the array

6 Workflow for PowerPath Migration Enabler
Host-Copy workflow (PP Physical only) Prerequisite task – configure target device Connect storage to host, zone and mask target LUNs, mount target devices Maintenance Window Production Set up migration powermig setup Sync source and target powermig sync Monitor sync progress powermig query Switch to target powermig selectTarget Multiple separate steps to accomplish a migration for more control Each step is recoverable For now, each step operates on a single source/target pair, but scripts can be written on top of the tool to migrate multiple pairs at once. Commit the operation powermig commit Clean up migration powermig cleanup Post migration tasks – refresh mappings in SRM tools; remove source device if desired Unmount devices from host, reclaim/reuse storage

7 Migration Enabler Steps Using Host Copy
Host-array connection I/O Bulk data copy thru host Configure target to host powermig setup powermig sync PowerPath Migration Enabler clones writes on host Hostcopy daemon does bulk copy through host Supports pause and resume during sync Use throttling commands before or during sync Disruptive tasks Non-Disruptive No application downtime OR advantages: bulk copy; synchronization from host (of writes) (During sync step) best of all possible worlds Mention that this is going thru a SAN powermig selectTarget powermig selectSource powermig selectTarget powermig commit powermig cleanup Remove source from host Source Target

8 PowerPath Migration Enabler Key Features
Application-transparent Migration Reduced latency and even throttling per migration and per-host via Host Copy Support for thin provisioning Multiple migrations support MSCS Cluster Support Windows 2008, Windows 2012, and Windows 2016 PPME Virtual Edition for ESX servers (Directed Availability) OR based migration of LUNs and datastores Uses PowerPath Management Appliance to manage migration

9 PowerPath Migration Enabler vs VMware Storage vMotion
Feature PPME Storage vMotion PPME Benefits Migration type Array based offload Host based copy Faster, uses VMAX OpenReplicator (OR) Migration granularity Per LUN/Datastore movement Per VM movement Storage Admin driven migrations, optimized for technology refresh use cases Host impact Minimal host CPU used ESXi host CPU intensive More ESXi host applications can continue to run with minimal impact Migration limits Max 32 PPME sessions, Max 32 LUNs per datastore Max 2 Migrations per host, Max 8 Migrations per datastore Greater throughput, faster migrations

10 PPME Virtual Edition

11 Better Together: PPME with Open Replicator
Host-Copy via Storage vMotion Storage-Assisted Places additional load on the vSphere hosts Storage replication handles the heavy lifting Increases the vSphere host network load May increase the replication network load Requires VMs to be relocated Keeps VMs in place May be significantly slower Likely to be faster

12 PPME Customer Solutions
Global Software Provider PPME used for non-disruptive migrations between arrays in various departments, simplifying workflow and saving time U.S. Pharmacy Chain PPME migrations on their Windows Exchange Hosts from legacy CLARiiON array to VMAX for an online cutover between heterogeneous arrays, thus saving time and effort from their personnel Non-profit Multi-Hospital and Physician Network PPME migrations on a variety of Windows and UNIX application servers saved a huge amount of time and effort in an array refresh project that was up against an aggressive timeline Global Contact Lens Provider Windows PPME migrations streamline Dell EMC PS services to engage and migrate data in an efficient and online manner using a field proven technology
