Requirements for Volume Advisor
10 Dell EMC SC Series Live Migrate and Volume Advisor | 3186-BP-SC
3 Requirements for Volume Advisor
Volume Advisor shares the same requirements as Live Migrate and has a few additional requirements:
• The source and destination SC Series arrays must be on the same major and minor SCOS versions
(for example, running SCOS 7.1 on both arrays is compliant, but running SCOS 7.1 on the source
array and SCOS 7.3 on the destination array is not compliant).
• The source and destination SC Series arrays must have the same tier 1 disk type (for example, both
arrays have 15K HDDs in tier 1, or both arrays have SSDs in tier 1).
If these requirements are not met, Volume Advisor will not recommend a Live Migration between two arrays
and the Live Migrate will need to be performed manually without the assistance of Volume Advisor if the
following requirements are met.
