EMC does not suppport "open" zoning for fiber channel - the switches MUST be zoned following EMC's best pratice. Since you will be using SAN Copy, you must use single-initiator, single-target zoning for each host HBA to each SP port.  In an "open" switch, SAN Copy will not work correctlty, plus the entire array configuration is not supported.  glen
Hello EMC specialists,  I would like to get your help on a SAN copy problem that I met :  Source system : CX300 - Flare 24 release 006 SAN Copy/E enabler installed  Destination system : VNX 5300 - SAN Copy installed  My problem : I have followed the steps detailed in the white paper "Migrating Data from an EMC Clarion Array to a VNX Platform using SAN Copy". But when I need to enter the WWN, the button is grey.  The SAN Copy connections have been verified several times on both sides : On the CX300 : Connectivity Status : the VNX ports are listed. SAN Copy - Connections summary : the WWNs of the VNX ports are logged and registered. In the Storage Group selected, the SAN Copy connection with the VNX (the GUI gives the Hostname of the VNX) is selected, and updated.  On the VNX 5300 : In the destination Storage Group selected, the SAN Copy connection with the CX300 (the GUI gives the Hostname of the CX300) is selected, and updated. Please check my printscreens.  If I try via CLI from the CX300 :  C:\Program Files\EMC\Navisphere CLI>naviseccli -h 192.168.99.230 -User admin -Password 260895 -Scope 0 sancopy -create -name Session1 -srcwwn 60:06:01:60:C1:90:1C:00:58:11:0D:FD:7F:A6:E1:11 -destwwn 60:06:01:60:38:41:30:00:C7:E8:C4:73:8E:A6:E1:11 -throttle 6 -verifyError: sancopy command failedError returned from AgentUnable to locate the device.
