How to switch over to new SAN storage?
Hello,
We've 2 Oracle RAC running 11gR2 and 12c on AIX 7.1 database server. They connect to an Dell/EMC storage which is end of life.
Now we got a new SAN storage and wants to 'migrate' the database to new storage. Some notes on the setup
- boss doesn't allow migrating through ASM (add ASM disk on new SAN, rebalance, remove ASM disk on old SAN).
- have to cut-over in one shot.
- ASM LUNS are synchronized to the new SAN.
- multipathing is used on AIX.
Thus what we have to do is:
1. synchronize LUNs to new SAN
2. stop DB and disconnect old SAN
