Moving Workspaces
You can move a Workspace and all of its contents by assigning it to another Storage Group in the Details panel of
the Workspaces page, as long as the destination Storage Group contains Workspaces using compatible protection
modes. For example, you can move a mirrored or unprotected Workspace to a Storage Group that contains other
mirrored or unprotected Workspaces, and you can move a RAID-6 Workspace to a Storage Group that contains
RAID-6 Workspaces.
On the ISIS | 7500 system, moving a Workspace requires that the destination Storage Group contain
Storage Managers of the same or larger chunk size as the source Storage Group.
To move a Workspace to a Storage Group with a smaller chunk size, you must create a new, empty Workspace in the
destination Storage Group and manually transfer the files from the source to the destination using an external copy
method.
n
If you are moving between chunk sizes, you cannot do any I/O to the Workspace while the move is in progress. The
Management Console displays a warning when you start the move and if you ignore the warning, the I/O fails. You
can do I/Os in other Workspaces in both the source and destination Storage Groups during the move.
