Hi guys,

I am trying to use the Federated Live Migration tool to migrate LUNs from a DMX-4 to a VMX-2.
The host is running AIX and Solution Enabler, and when I try to create the FLM session here is what I get:

# cat FLM_pairs.txt
symdev=000292600092:06D5 symdev=000290104960:0807
symdev=000292600092:06D6 symdev=000290104960:0808
symdev=000292600092:06D7 symdev=000290104960:0809
symdev=000292600092:06D8 symdev=000290104960:080A

# symrcopy -f FLM_pairs.txt create -pull -migrate -host_type AIX -name flm -v

Execute 'Create' operation for the 4 specified devices
in device file 'FLM_pairs.txt' (y/[n]) ? y

'Create' operation execution is in progress for the device list
in device file 'FLM_pairs.txt'. Please wait...

Note: the DMX-4 LUNs are displayed when I do a :
"powermt display dev=all", so I guess AIX can communicate with the DMX-4. And since the of the donor are found, some communication is working at some point too.

When I try FLM through the SMC GUI (hosted on a windows server), it cannot discover the LUNs on my DMX-4.

Any help is welcome since I cannot find anything on Internet on this subject.

Thanks in advance.
 
A little update. Using the GUI I finally get the same error as the CLI. The FLM wizard goes to the Summary task,and then failed with the same error as the CLI.
