Hi
We used the HP EVA to 3PAR Online Import with great succes. But we did encounter a few problems and this was one of them. The cause of our issues was how the P6500 EVA was zoned to the 3PAR array.
There must be two unique paths between the source and destination storage systems. To create two paths, the two controller host ports on the source EVA must be zoned to two peer ports
The 8000/8100 arrays have four ports per controller and can meet this requirement, because two odd and two even ports per controller can zoned the 3PAR peer ports. However, the P6500 array only has two ports per controller, one on the ODD Fabric, one on the EVEN Fabric.
The P6500 Host Posts (HP) were originally zoned as Ctrl A/HP3 to one 3PAR peer port and Ctrl B HP3 to another 3PAR peep port on the ODD Fabric. The same was repeated on the EVEN fabric Ctrl A/HP4 and Ctrl B/HP4. This created four zones but with only one port per controller on each fabric.
I rezoned the P6500 array Host Ports so that the both ODD ports Ctrl A & Ctrl B/HP3 were in the same zone with the 3PAR peer port. This was repeated on the EVEN Fabric. Once the 3PAR could see two ports on one peer port it allowed the migration to proceed.
Sample zoning:
ODD Fbric SAN SWitch> zoneshow *P6500*
zone: P6500_CTRLAB_HP3__3PAR01_N0S1P1_ZONE
3PAR01_N0S1P1_ALIAS; P6500_CTRLA_HP3_ALIAS;
GPHSV15_CTRLB_HP3_ALIAS
EVEN Fabric SAN SWitch> zoneshow *P6500*
zone: P6500_CTRLAB_HP4__PAR01_N1S1P2_ZONE
3PAR01_N1S1P2_ALIAS; P6500_CTRLA_HP4_ALIAS;
P65000_CTRLB_HP4_ALIAS
