Users The MPX200 supports two types of users: • Administrative user: To manage the MPX200, you must be in an administrative session. The default password for the administrator is config. • Data migration user (miguser): This user session is required to configure migration-related activities. The default password is migration. For all DSM functions, you must run a miguser session. Getting started This section helps you get started using DMS with the MPX200 and the mpx Manager for Data Migration Services by describing the supported configurations, some best practices recommendations, and hardware and software setup. Supported configurations This section describes the supported topologies and fabrics, and lists the supported fabric and array types. Fabric configuration Figure 90 shows a typical setup for data migration with a dual-fabric high-availability (HA) configuration with both array controller ports and one port from each MPX200 blade connected to each fabric. This configuration enables the MPX200 to perform load balancing. Figure 90 Single and dual blade high-availability setup . Table 31 shows the migration rates that can be achieved for a single blade, depending on the bandwidth capability of the storage array. 252 Offline Data Migration
