VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.1 Intelligent Storage Provisioning Administrator's Guide

Chapter 4, Administering Application Volumes

Migrating Volumes to ISP

The following example demonstrates how to use a definitions file to migrate two volumes to

separate data and clone storage pools:

vxvoladm -M migrate <<!!

diskgroup "mydg"

volume "myvol" {

pool "mydatapool"

};

volume "snap_myvol" {

pool "myclonepool"

};

Note the following limitations of the migration operation:

◆ All volumes in a VVR replicated volume group (RVG) must be migrated together.

◆ All vxassist-created volumes that share a set of disks must be migrated in a single

operation.

◆ Disks cannot be shared with any volumes that are not listed on the command line or in a

definitions file.

◆ Volumes cannot share disks unless these disks are to be located in the same storage pool.

◆ Volumes with a usage type of root, such as those on a root disk that is under VxVM control,

cannot be migrated.

◆ The disk group containing the volumes to be migrated must have a version number of 120 or

greater.
