Techniques for improved workflow for migration planning of data storage systems. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A plurality of elements representing events of a workflow are generated, wherein each element is active for a predetermined duration. A group of one or more assets to be migrated as a unit are assigned to each element. A group of the one or more assets is moved from a first element of the plurality of elements to a second element of the plurality of elements.

Workflow for migration planning of data storage systems

Techniques for improved replication of storage arrays in data storage systems. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A first set of physical storage devices in a data storage system are identified for replication. Specification is received from a user of at least one storage pool in the data storage system in accordance with which the first set of physical storage devices is to be replicated. A second set of physical storage devices is allocated from the user-specified storage pool. Data stored on the first set of physical storage devices is replicated onto the second set of physical storage devices.

Array-based replication in data storage systems

Techniques for automating configuration and migrating configurations of assets in a storage area network (SAN). For example, a method comprises the following steps. An element representing an event in a project is generated. One or more assets are added to the element. A group within the element including a sub-set of the one or more assets from the element is generated, wherein the one or more assets in the sub-set are to be configured.

Automating configuration and migrating configurations of assets in a storage area network

Techniques for automatic file system migration to a network attached storage (NAS) device or system. For example, a method comprises the following steps. A first network attached storage system and a second network attached storage system are designated. A file system on the first network attached storage system is selected to migrate to the second network attached storage system, at least one criterion of the file system on the second network attached storage system is defined, and a configuration of the second network attached storage system is automatically determined based on the defined criterion.
