The following NAS command initiated on the connected NAS device(s) will list the Dell/EMC disk volumes owned
by an individual Celerra:

The storageID-devID information must be used to determine if the LUNs to be migrated (as reported by the CAP2
report) are NAS LUNs.
The NAS control LUNs are reserved LUNs for the NAS operating system and operational database located on the
back-end storage. The Celerra control LUNs currently use approximately 30 GB of Dell/EMC storage. A typical
control LUNs configuration is as follows:
Two 11 GB LUNs
Four 2 GB LUNs
Celerra control LUNs for current NAS implementations always have IDs 1-6 in the output of the ―nas_disk –list‖
command. The remaining IDs in the listing above are the data LUNs associated with the Celerra. After the control
and data LUNs have been identified, the EMC identifier and ALU can be used to map the NAS LUNs back to the
Dell/EMC array. The ALU directly corresponds to the LUN# column in the CAP2 CX4 conversion readiness check
report.
If NAS LUNs are identified for migration the following considerations apply:
LUN migration must be used to execute migration of NAS LUNs. The recommended priority for the LUN
migration is high. This provides the best balance between application response time and the time for LUN
migration to complete. Refer to ―Appendix B: Virtual LUN Migration Performance‖ on page 16 for LUN
migration rates.
NAS control LUNs must be migrated to Fibre Channel drives
NAS control LUNs must be moved to a single RAID group.
NAS control and data LUNs must be migrated to a RAID group of the same geometry. For example, LUNs on a
RAID 5 4+1 must be migrated to another RAID 5 4+1. Refer to EMC knowledgebase article emc160173 for
additional information.
NAS control and data LUNs must be migrated to LUNs with identical block counts. Refer to EMC
knowledgebase article emc157859 for additional information.
