Migrating volumes by disk group
You can migrate a disk group that resides on an enclosure to one or more other enclosures. While setting up the migration you can optionally add free, uninitialized disks from the target enclosures to the disk group. This disk group operation is available only on the UNIX/Linux hosts and requires Storage Provisioning and Enclosure Migration Add-on.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
Before you migrate volumes by disk group, review the planning information in the following:
In addition, verify the following:
If volumes have been set up for creating snapshots, unprepare those volumes.
Ensure that disks are provisioned on the new enclosures. You can use the migration wizard to add disks to the disk group.
Ensure that the enclosures are added to Arctera InfoScale Operations Manager.
To migrate volumes by disk group
- In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
- Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
- Expand the host and expand Disk Groups to locate the disk group.
- Right-click the disk group and click Migrate Storage.
- In the Migrate Volumes by Disk Group wizard, specify a name and description for the migration task so that you can track the task status. Click Next.
- Select the source and target enclosure. Optionally, to add disks to the disk group, select the check box Add free/uninitialized disks to the disk group. Click Next.
- If you selected the option to add disks, select one or more disks to add to the disk group from the list of available free (initialized) or uninitialized disks. Click Next.
- Select the volumes to migrate. Verify the source and target layout. If you want to change the target layout, double-click the volume and select the new layout on the Change Layout window.
You can also choose from the following options:
Keep the same number of paths to disks for selected volumes (the default) or set a minimum number of paths.
Optionally, select the check box to delete the original volumes after successfully moving the volumes to the target enclosure.
Click Next.
- Choose one of the following:
Schedule the time of the migration.
To run immediately, select Run now.
Warning:
Review the information under Migration Summary before starting the migration. For more information, click Impact Analysis. A separate window opens to display impact analysis information regarding affected objects.
Click Next.
- When done reviewing the Migration Summary and Impact Analysis, click Previous if you want to go back and change anything. Otherwise, click Finish and close the confirmation window.
Scheduled migrations are listed in the Solutions area for the Storage Migration solution on the Migration Status (By Schedule) tab. You can check on the status of a specific volume on the Migration Status (By Volume) tab.
