Description
The following rules apply to the batch-migrate create-plan command:
● The source and target extents must be typed as a comma-separated list, where each element is allowed to contain
wildcards.
● If this is an extent migration, the source and target cluster must be the same.
● If this is a device migration, the source and target clusters can be different.
● The source and target can be either local-devices or extents. Mixed migrations from local-device to extent and vice versa
are not allowed.
● The command attempts to create a valid migration plan from the source devices/extents to the target devices/extents.
If there are source devices/extents that cannot be included in the plan, the command prints a warning to the console, but
still creates the plan.
● Review the plan and make any necessary changes before starting the batch migration.
