Migrate Data from one SAN to other in AlwaysON configuration with no/minimal downtime

Team,
There is a requirement to move the current DBs from existing SAN to new IBM SAN disks. I have outlined the below steps. Request you to please add your inputs/challenges/risks.
This is in Always ON and We have 3 Nodes. 
Server A , Server B and Server C
A and B are Synchronous
C is hosting Async replica.
Note: The SQL binaries are installed on E: drive which is a SAN drive. Whether is this going to be impacted based on my steps below?
Present the new SAN of same size  on all the nodes in the Availability Cluster.
Break the secondary replica. On Secondary replica, Migrate the data by physically moving the DB files from old SAN to new SAN.
Rename the new SANs back to the original filenames as it was present earlier. Bring up the services and join to Availability Group. Check whether the DBs are Synchronized with Primary.
Now, Failover the Primary to Secondary replica- This will be a short outage.
Follow the same steps on Primary as mentioned in Steps 1-3.
Check the Synchronization of the DBs and perform all the sanity checks.
Thanks!
Sharath

Hi Sharath,
This can be easily achieved by storage migration by storage Vendor, In your case IBM should be able to do it, since they have sophisticated tools
(one of these tools is Storage Virtualization for Data Migration and Consolidation) to this SAN migration they don't need downtime during the storage sync process. your downtime will be only the Cutoff Time, If SAN Vendor does the Data Migration for you. <o:p></o:p>
Otherwise,
1. Take out read-only replica out of Always on Group.
2. Since SQL is also installed on SAN drive, I strongly suggest you to rebuild the SQL Server as new. (No Copy of Data from SAN to SAN)
        Note: Drive allocation and drive letters should be identical
3. Once you rebuild the SQL Server, One Challenge here is to migrate the SQL Logins (You must migrate users using same SID, to avoid permission issues).
4. then Add it Always on Group, and wait for the databases to sync.
5.
Then manually move the always on group read/write replica to new node.
6. follow the steps 1 ,2,3 and 4 in sequence.
Hope this will help you.

  • How to move BCS data from one box to other

    Hello Expert,
    Dose any one know how to move BCS data from one box to other box ?
    Thanks & Regards,

    1) The best is to do the test. In my case, my customer was just doing this transfer (in full) to perform tests on the BEX reportings. Actually, they never raised any issue regarding document number when they did additional postings in test system... I would also say that during the transfer, the number counter in Qual gets not synchronized with the one in Prod. So, I think the system will just take the next number available in Qual. Should not be an issue.
    2)  As explained in answer 1), in my case, the purpose was not to perform data migration from one system to the other one. Thus, my customer never performed a subsequent consolidation in the target system. But, basically, the transfer copies all data : posting levels 00 to 30, for all periods you have selected + Additional financial data and sequence of activities. Thus, for me, everyhting is available in the target system, including COI documents. In other words, the "picture" regarding the data should be exactly the same between both system. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the customizing : it must be the same in Qual and Prod (example : date of acquisition and divestiture, structure of the group, etc...).
    Another very important thing, is that your export data source must not be enriched due to the BCS Delta load scenario. If it is the case, the system will write the consolidation logic (i-e the consolidation group + reporting mode) when transferring the data from the source Real Time Infocube to the Target Real time infocube, which will lead to inconsistent data in the target system.

  • Migrating data from one databaes to oracle?

    is there any way to migrate my data from my old/previous database to oracle db.
    ie. migrating data from one databaes to another.

    If you are using Oracle 9i, look at external tables. Otherwise, dumping your data to text files and using SQL*Loader to load it into Oracle tables is a good option. There are various tools and utilities you might look into, including ODBC and migration toolkit. I prefer the SQL*Loader method for DBase, FoxPro, and Access.

  • Move all data from one database to other using oracle expdp and impdp tool

    I need to move all of the data from one database to another. For that I am using oracle expdp and impdp tool.
    I have the full database export dump file. I moved that dump file to my other database.
    Now when I try to use impdp tools it gives lots of error regarding path mismatch,user not exists, role not exists.
    As my datafile path of source database does not match with the target database path , also the users are not there in target database. I dont want to create all the tablespaces that in my source database as there are 82 tablespaces.Is there any way by which I can move my all data without using remap option for tablespaces or users and grants.

    The FULL parameter indicates that a complete database export is required. The following is an example of the full database export and import syntax.
    The user must have the privielge of EXP_FULL_DATABASE
    expdp system/password@db10g full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=expdpDB10G.log
    impdp system/password@db10g full=Y directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=DB10G.dmp logfile=impdpDB10G.logGO through below linkfor more details...

  • Improving performance on migrating data from one Oracle database to another

    We are using hibernate to migrate complete tables from one database to the other. This takes hours to days to transfer a couple of tables, all having relationships between each other. The only difference is that the new tables have an extra column which stores the primary key of the source table as an alias key in the destination table and the destination table has only one extra column which is its own primary key. Another small difference is that the name of the columns is a little different.
    Isn't there a simple way to use Oracle database's in built tools to migrate data if provided the source and destination tables and column names for mapping purposes? Please provide some suggestions for this Oracle newbie. Any other suggestions on improving the migration performance will be greatly appreciated.
    Suggestions please!!!

    Hello Justin,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. Ours is a small company so we take up all kinda roles. In this particular scenario, I was asked to migrate all the tables from one database to another. Both of the databases are present on two different machines but on the same network. There are about 100,000 records in some of the tables and there are about 50 tables to migrate. As I said, both the tables have different columns to be mapped and then transferred and the new table has only one extra column which is a primary key in the new table. Under these constraints, Hibernate is taking way too much time.
    I always felt that there must be a simpler and efficient way to do this. I would appreciate if you could you explain me the procedures in detail please.
    Thanks in advance.

    to transfer the data is easy, use flat files or you can export the DS in the source sys and then load it in the target sys (the easiest way).

  • How to Migrate WSDLs from one environment to other

    Hi All,
    can somebody please tell me how can WSDLs from one environment be migrated to other environments.
    I could not see any option in CMU.
    Do i need to create them Manually in every environment.
    many thanks,
    sapan

    As I recall, you can manually move the file data/soap/custom/wsdl_custom.hda from the instance folder on one system to the other. Then, manually choose the option to publish the WSDLs from the WSDL generator tool in admin interface. Not automatic in any way (well, the publishing is kind of automatic) but certainly better than manually re-entering the WSDL definition.
    Note that this will not do if you need to merge WSDLs from the first system to the second system. By moving the HDA file you will be replacing all custom WSDL definitions on the second system with those from the first.

  • How to pass data from one component to other component.

    Hi,
      I have created a table view in Item Details Page Under Price Agreement Assignment Block. Price Agreement Assignment Block has one table as standard. I have created one more view Under the Assignment block of Price agreement(CRMCMP_CND). In that view I have an option to enter data when the user click on edit. In that custom view, If user cnages to edit mode and enter data. it has to save when user click's on save button in Quotation page(BT116QH_SRVQ). From Quotation page user clicks on item to get the Item details. In the Item details there is an Price Agreement Assignment Block. In that Custom view was created and assigned to it. Data entred in that view needs to be stored when user clciks on Save button on Quotation page when he comes back. How to get the custom view data from CRMCMP_CND to BT116QH_SRVQ). Please advice. Thanks In Advance.

    Hi Satish,
    Global custom controllers are not available everywhere. So before using them please make sure that they are available for your case.
    http://sapdiary.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2402:sap-network-blog-interaction-center-global-custom-controllers&catid=81:data-services&Itemid=81
    if you find problems in navigating data using component controllers then you can also navigate it through navigation links.
    If you see your outbound plug method op_xxxxx, then there is a method call to navigate method. This method has an option to pass your data collection. Pass your data collection and also inbound plug so that in target component you can read and temporarily store data as soon as you hit target component.
    Hope that helps,
