If you are doing a SANCopy/Full Copy Pull, you do not need the enabler on the source.  Make sure that SPA of the CX500 is zoned to SPA of the VNX, SPB to SPB. And be sure that the source and destination LUN are both owned by the same SP.  Note: Having SANCopy enabler on the source would enable a Push operation, and allow you to do Incremental pushes.

Hi, everyone. I've read a number of related posts here and around the web about my issue, but I'm not entirely clear on what step I may be missing because the solutions provided vary and none seem to work for me.   The basic problem is that I'm trying to copy LUNs from a CX500 to a VNX5300 using SAN Copy. SAN Copy is enabled on teh VNX, it is not enabled on the CX. My process was pretty simple:  1. Zone SP-X on CX500 to SP-Y on VNX5300 2. Update SAN Copy Connections on both  At this point, the CX500 can see the VNX5300. However, if I attempt a pull from the VNX5300:  1. SAN Copy Wizard on the VNX5300 2. Initiate a FULL copy 3. Enter the unique id of a test LUN created on the CX500 (both unassigned and in a test storage group) - it comes up as Unknown with unknown size 4. Choose a test lun on the VNX as the destination (both unassigned and in a test storage group) 5. Finish and start the copy  At this point, the VNX fails and says that it cannot find the source LUN.  Problem 1: I've been told by one field tech that the lack of SAN Copy on the CX is my problem, yet I've seen customers post that SAN Copy is not necessary on both devices and that I should be able to do a pull copy from the VNX. Is SAN Copy Enabler required on both devices or should a pull work even without SAN Copy enabled on the CX (in which case I need to go back to troubleshooting my methodology)?  Problem 2: If the lack of SAN Copy on the CX is the issue, I've also seen it suggested both in the EMC white paper on migrating from a CX to a VNX and by other customers that SAN Copy Enabler for the CX series is available for free to VNX customers. However, a tech in EMC live chat said it is not and I cannot locate it through Powerlink. Which is true? is it free or do I need to buy it?  Thanks a lot for any assistance!
