To migrate a specified volume, enable the Migration only selected volumes option. You can enable the volume set option which automatically enables the host set option also. Specify the volume set and host set names in the respective fields. These settings are available only for a non-3PAR array.

If the destination array host ports support Smart SAN, you can select Yes or No for Use Smart SAN host ports field in the Host configuration. If Smart SAN is not supported at the host port, a warning message is displayed.

In a non-3PAR storage system you can specify configuration settings only for Host. An additional option to add a host is available in the host configuration settings. If you have not selected a port for the storage system, you cannot use Smart SAN to create hosts.
