Data migration from file level including source (NetApp ) and target file systems (VNX), migrated shares and exports, and the final network configuration.

Provide detailed planning for the Service including scheduling and time estimates for the Service, and identification of any potential maintenance windows and rollback plans to account for any identified potential issues.

Prepare new NAS environment, including creating aperture workflows for equipment installation space, power, network, Tivoli monitoring and virus scanning. That appropriate detail is placed in the aperture workflow documentation to effectively manage the setup of the new NAS environment.

Engage Customer’s infrastructure teams to set up DNS and load balance request (QIP, White pages CNAME, 3DNS/Load Balance requirements, etc.) enabling the NAS migration project team to effectively work with the SDT (site delivery team) and infrastructure team to effectively manage the DNS and load balance requirements.

Perform the data migration (Prod and COB) and assist Customer in the cutover of the NAS file systems from the Source NAS Solution to the Target NAS Solution. The data migration will be

Performed CIFS/NFS with Volumes or qtree basis. Global Standards set by NAS operations team will be followed.

Provide testing and validation to ensure that Customer’s data, shares, exports, and network configuration have been successfully migrated and that the data is accessible to the appropriate

Customer users.

Contact the system administrator to schedule with the business an appropriate migration event based on Customer’s business as usual, standard or scheduled application outage windows (green zones).Plan and design migration events including definition of the migration methodology to be employed.

Monitor data copy status and progress and validate or update adherence to the Data migration Plan. Do not run copy jobs during production hours. Throttle copy jobs. Work with the backup team to ensure old backup jobs are stopped after the cutover and new jobs have been initiated before be cut-over.

Success criteria for completing a server migration event consists of the server being fully available on the target NAS system and removed from the source NAS system, all cleanup and post-migration work completed such that the server is no longer connected to or has access to the source NAS system.

Provide Day one early coverage after the cut-over to ensure there are no issues when majority of the users login after the cut-over.

After the cut-over old CIFS/NFS access should be restricted and ensure old volumes are offline for 2 weeks before they are destroyed.

Update NAS Volume Contact Database with new volumes and contact SA

Must engage business/SA teams to provide migration checkout and signoff.

Perform the steps necessary such that volumes have been fully decommissioned, all user and share association deleted so that the appropriate hardware vendor can complete decommission and scrubbing of old volumes and remove hardware from service.
