MultiPathing
1. Starting Point with Application
running
2. Install SF (No downtime required)
3. Provision Storage
4. Configure Storage Foundation
with the desired final state layout
Tech Days 2010
Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation
Configure Migration Layer
Application
1. Stop Application
2. Configure Migration Layer
3. Restart Application
• The migration layer is invisible
to any applications

offline during a short time
to configuration the
Migration Layer

Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation
Migration Phase
Application
1. During the migration both the
source and target file systems are
kept up to date
• Ensures an easy and
successful back-out path

2. A background migration process
copies the data from the source
file system
Applications are kept
online throughout the
copy operation
Tech Days 2010
Online Migration from OS Stack to Storage Foundation
Migration Completed
Application
1. Stop Application
2. Unconfigure the Migration Layer
3. Restart Application
4. Clean up old infrastructure and
reclaim storage

• During the entire migration the
Application has only had two
short, well defined, outages to
configure the Migration Layer
• As the source file system is kept
up to date backing out is trivial
• Abort the migration and
Remount the old file system

Ensure availability

• Increases cost + complexity
