Which method is recommended for NetApp-to-NetApp data migration, XCP or SnapMirror?
Applies to
Answer
SnapMirror is recommended for the following reasons:
- There are no transfer issues even if the source is active. (With XCP, if there are frequent updates to the active filesystem, the transfer may stop due to errors.)
- Although a SnapMirror license is required, preparing a separate XCP host is unnecessary. (Typically, XCP is used for data migration between third-party storage and NetApp storage.)
