2 Overview

HP 3PAR Peer Motion Manager Software Overview

The HP 3PAR Peer Motion Manager Software script controls the migration of data from a source system to a destination system. With the Peer Motion Manager software you can copy the virtual volumes and system configuration information to a new system without changing host configurations or interrupting access to the volumes.

The Peer Motion Manager software runs on a Windows host connected to the destination system. The destination system non-disruptively moves the volumes from the source system while servicing I/O requests from the hosts. After the data migration is complete the source system can be disconnected from the hosts and repurposed.
