Highlights<br />

The <strong>TDMF</strong> solution consists of<br />

three components: CLI, filter<br />

driver <strong>and</strong> configuration files.<br />

<strong>TDMF</strong> architecture<br />

<strong>TDMF</strong> consists of three components:<br />

• Comm<strong>and</strong> line interface (CLI): provides a user interface to issue comm<strong>and</strong>s<br />

<strong>and</strong> control migrations<br />

• Filter driver: captures application updates during the data migration<br />

• Configuration files: contains system <strong>and</strong> migration configuration details<br />

referenced by the <strong>TDMF</strong> software.<br />

The <strong>TDMF</strong> software is transparent to the application(s) running on the application<br />

server. Since the <strong>TDMF</strong> driver is located between the file systems <strong>and</strong> the<br />

volume manager, there are no driver, microcode or multipathing dependencies.<br />
