Chapter 6. Volume configuration 337
6. Depending on the size of the volume, the migration process takes some time, but you can
monitor the status of the migration in the running tasks bar at the bottom of the GUI as
shown in Figure 6-56.
Figure 6-56 Migration progress
After the migration is completed, the volume is shown in the new storage pool. Figure 6-57
shows that it was moved from the Pool0 to the Pool2.
Figure 6-57 Migration complete
The volume copy has now been migrated without any host or application downtime to the new
storage pool. It is also possible to migrate both volume copies to other pools online.
Another way to migrate volumes to another pool is by performing the migration using the
volume copies, as described in 6.9, “Migrating volumes using the volume copy feature” on
page 337.
6.9 Migrating volumes using the volume copy feature
IBM Spectrum Virtualize supports creation, synchronizing, splitting, and deleting volume
copies. A combination of these tasks can be used to migrate volumes to other storage pools.
The easiest way to migrate volume copies is to use the migration feature described in 6.8,
“Migrating a volume to another storage pool” on page 333. If you use this feature, one extent
after another is migrated to the new storage pool. However, using volume copies provides
another possibility to migrate volumes.
Note: Migrating a volume between storage pools with different extent sizes is not
supported. If you need to migrate a volume to a storage pool with a different extent size,
use volume copy features instead.
