I have a customer with a Nimble CS210 running 5.x, that is wanting to do a group merge to migrate the data to a new Alletra 6010 running 6.x OS.

CS210 (AF-129379) is currently running with NimbleOS 5.0.10 and it can only go up to 5.3.0.

6010 (AF-300423) is now on AlletraOS 6.0.0.400 and it cannot go down to 5.x.

As such, group merge is not possible.

Therefore there are only 2 ways for data migration:

1) Replicate all volumes from CS210 to 6010, plan a downtime, shutdown all hosts, perform a final snapshot and replicate. Remount volumes from 6010 on hosts.

2) Host-based migration.
