You can select volumes and migrate them immediately or on a schedule.
You must be a storage administrator to migrate volumes.
Note: Ops Center Administrator limits the number of volumes you can migrate at any one
time to 300, because of the high load to the storage system and the long processing
time.
For internal migration, ensure the following:
- All selected volumes belong to a single storage system that is managed in Ops Center Administrator.
- All selected volumes will be migrated to a different pool of the same storage system.
- All selected volumes are attached to servers.
- The volumes are not protected. However, a clone pair can be migrated if the P-VOL status is PSUS and the S-VOLs status is SSUS.
- The storage system has at least one eligible pool (Thin or Tiered) with enough space to migrate volumes.
For external migration, ensure the following:
- The target storage system must be onboarded in Ops Center Administrator.
- The source volumes must be virtualized and selectable as external volumes.
- The target storage system must have at least one eligible pool (Thin or Tiered) with enough space to migrate volumes.
-
Select volumes to migrate, then click Migrate volumes.
- Select a pool that has enough space to migrate the volume, then click Next.
-
In Volume Settings you can choose a type of
Capacity Savings and select a Volume ID /
Range. You can also set up cleanup tasks by selecting
Shred Source Volumes and Delete Source
Volumes.
When you select these options, Ops Center Administrator will shred and/or delete source volumes after a successful migration
The default selection for Volume ID / Range is Auto, which allows automatic selection. You can select either a Decimal or Hexadecimal range and enter the endpoints of the range.The default selection for Shred Source Volumes is No and the default selection for Delete Source Volumes is Yes.
