Wells Fargo
•
Provider of banking and financial products and services across
North America and Internationally. Ranked 41st in revenue by
Forbes.
•
Challenges
 Storage Refresh from Xiotech to NetApp, 40 servers 10+ TB. Migrate
data center from production site to shore view, Minneapolis.
 Business requirements: outage window ( < 6 hours), schedule (many
small migrations, 3-month project).
 Absolutely no agents or software installation, and wanted to test the
solution before actual implementation.
 Support for legacy server (Novell Netware), Boot LUN migration and
Xiotech storage.
 Remote migrated 19 servers data as of September 20.
•
Winning Formula: POC, NetApp/Vicom collaboration, Openness to
end user

“Everything went very well, and Vicom
handled their part of the work without any
problems. It was obvious that Vicom people
are knowledgeable and experienced (in data
migrations), and their software tools and
DME appliance all look to work very well. I
have nothing but good things to report, and I
would strongly recommend Vicom for other
SAN migrations.”

Vicom Migration Process – Migration
Action Items (Migration day)
•
•
•
•
Vicom – Coordinate server shutdown (Best Practice).
Vicom – Migrate data from source storage to destination storage.
NetApp – Update HBA BIOS, HBA Driver, FC Driver, MP Driver, OS fixes,.
Vicom – Verify Migration completion and perform post-migration tasks (label
Solaris disk)

Best Practice – Windows Boot LUN Migration
1.
2.
Update HBA BIOS, if needed.
Connect Server HBA to destination SAN (if source SAN is different from destination
SAN). Zone (FC) server HBA and destination storage ports together. Configure LUN
masking so that server can access LUNs from the destination storage.
3. If there are multiple paths to destination storage, connect only one path and
temporarily disconnect all other paths.
4. Configure HBA BIOS setting such that HBA can recognize boot LUN from destination
storage (by WWPN).
5. Bring-up server; boot from destination storage.
6. Install proper multipath driver (Snap Drive) for the destination storage, then shutdown
the server.
7. Reconnect all other paths to the destination storage, and bring-up the system again.
8. Run chkdisk to verify the file system.
9. Examine log files (system, application) for errors and warnings.
10. Start applications and verify user data.
