Zero-Downtime Migration
Controller-based migrations using NDM, UVM, and GAD enable organisations to move data between storage generations without impacting production workloads or application availability.
Build implementation-level expertise across Hitachi block storage replication and migration — from TrueCopy, HUR, GAD, and 3DC remote replication design to NDM/UVM-based migrations, in-system replication, and troubleshooting common production issues.
HCE-5711 focuses on planning, designing, implementing, and supporting Hitachi block storage replication and migration solutions. The learning path connects initial migration planning (GAD/NDM vs NDM/UVM approaches), remote and in-system replication design (TrueCopy, HUR, GAD, ShadowImage, HTI), controller-based migration implementation, and operational troubleshooting into one complete data mobility workflow.
The result is a rounded data mobility skill set: understanding how replication topologies, VSM design, server grouping strategies, and system option modes interact — and how to diagnose and resolve real-world replication and migration problems.
The challenges behind this syllabus — zero-downtime migration, continuous replication, disaster recovery, and business continuity — remain central to enterprise storage strategy and risk management.
Controller-based migrations using NDM, UVM, and GAD enable organisations to move data between storage generations without impacting production workloads or application availability.
TrueCopy synchronous replication, HUR asynchronous replication, and 3DC configurations provide layered disaster recovery options for near-zero RPO and RTO across geographically separated sites.
VSM-based migrations and controller-based methods allow enterprises to consolidate legacy and third-party storage arrays onto modern Hitachi VSP platforms with minimal risk.
Global Active Device (GAD) active-active replication and ShadowImage in-system clones enable organisations to maintain business continuity during planned maintenance and unplanned outages.
Plan replication and migration projects — evaluate GAD/NDM vs NDM/UVM approaches, select appropriate replication technologies, and size solutions using Hitachi coverage tools.
Design remote replication topologies (TrueCopy, HUR, GAD, 3DC) and in-system replication architectures (ShadowImage, HTI/HTIA) aligned with RPO, RTO, and business continuity requirements.
Configure remote and in-system replication, prepare migration events, and implement System Option Modes, Host Mode Options, and function switches for production migrations.
Group servers into migration events for minimal disruption, manage controller-based migration workflows, and use replication software tools for monitoring and control.
Troubleshoot common migration and replication implementation failures, diagnose errors in TrueCopy, HUR, GAD, and NDM workflows, and apply replication management best practices.
Migrate legacy and third-party storage systems to Hitachi VSP using NDM, UVM-based methods and SI clone operations, with VSM design supporting the migration architecture.
