Release Notes

8 Migrating an Oracle Database to Dell EMC SC Series Storage | CML1001
since the last snapshot. This uses less network bandwidth and less time. In the event of primary array/site
failure, the replicas can be activated by the administrator on the remote site.
Live Volume is a hyper-volume that stretches across two different SC Series arrays. The feature extends
data protection beyond the basic array replication and offers enhanced disaster recovery capability to a
remote site. When the primary SC Series array becomes unavailable, Live Volume can seamlessly fail over to
the secondary array without causing data access interruption. The feature allows on-demand failover or auto-
failover between the two arrays. For more information on Live Volume and how it interacts with Microsoft
®
and
VMware
®
, refer to SC Series Technical Documents.
Live Migrate builds on the same virtualization architecture of Live Volume and allows migrating workloads
seamlessly from one array to another. The feature is intended for migrating data between SC Series arrays
without causing service interruption. It simplifies the complex manual migration workflow of setting up the Live
Volume and replication, mapping the Live Volume to the server, waiting for replication to finish, performing
role swap, and removing the Live Volume at the end.
Dell Storage Manager (DSM) serves as a centralized administration console for one or multiple SC Series,
PS Series, and FluidFS clusters. DSM offers an easy-to-use graphical interface to manage storage volumes,
server mappings, storage medium configuration, storage profiles, snapshot profiles, replication, and Live
Volumes, and provides performance monitoring of the storage systems with rich charting capabilities. DSM
also provides product integration for Microsoft and VMware products. These products include Microsoft
System Center Virtual Machine Manager, VMware Site Recovery Manager, and VMware
®
vSphere
®
Virtual
Volumes™ (vVols). For more information, refer to the DSM Storage Center Administrator’s Guide and visit SC
Series Technical Documents.
SC Series PowerShell SDK, REST API, and Java-based CompCU allow administrators to manage the SC
Series storage through scripting and automation. They are available to customers free of charge.
Dell SupportAssist is built into DSM and every SC Series array. When enabled, DSM sends array
configuration, diagnostic, and performance data to Dell technical support for proactive monitoring,
performance analysis, and troubleshooting purposes. With SupportAssist, administrators can choose to
receive update notification and whether the updates should be pushed directly to DSM automatically.
Administrator’s approval is always required to apply the updates.
For additional documentation on these features, see the DSM Storage Center Administrator’s Guide.
