What is my data migration schedule?

This topic describes considerations for determining your data migration schedule.

The amount of time needed to migrate data from the source storage subsystem to the SAN File System will depend on several factors, such as the amount of data to migrate, the amount of disk space on the SAN File System client, and data transfer rate between the source storage system and the SAN File System client.

You should take into consideration all of these factors when determining your data migration schedule. In addition, you can run the migratedata command with the plan parameter to have the SAN File System provide an estimate for you. You can use this estimate to validate that your schedule is valid.
Note: As you develop a data migration schedule, keep in mind that all applications that modify the data being migrated (including database and application servers) must be stopped during the migration process to guarantee data integrity.
