Start moving a LUN from one volume to another within a Vserver
Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The
lun move start command initiates
moving of a LUN from one volume to another. The destination volume can be
located on the same node as the original volume or on a different
node.
Note: Use
lun move-in-volume command if you want to rename
the LUN or move it within the same volume.
Note: This command does not support movement of LUNs that are created from
files.
Note: This command is not supported for a Vserver with Infinite Volume.
Parameters
- -vserver <Vserver Name> - Vserver Name
- Specifies the name of the Vserver that will host the new
LUN.
- | -destination-path <path> - Destination Path
-
Specifies the full path to the new LUN, in the format
/vol/<volume>[/<qtree>]/<lun>.
- -source-path <path>} - Source Path
- Specifies the full path to the source LUN, in the format
/vol/<volume>[/<qtree>]/<lun>.
- [-promote-late [true]] - Promote Late
- Optionally specifies that the destination LUN needs to be
promoted late.
If the destination is promoted early, the new LUN will be visible
immediately. However, Snapshot copies of the volume containing the new
LUN cannot be taken until the LUN move operation reaches 'Moving Data'
status.
If the destination is promoted late, the new LUN will be visible only
after it has been fully framed. However, the LUN move job will not block
the creation of Snapshot copies of the volume containing the new LUN.
If this parameter is not specified, the destination LUN will be
promoted early.
- [-max-throughput {<integer>[KB|MB|GB|TB|PB]}] - Maximum Transfer Rate (per sec)
- Optionally specifies the maximum amount of data, in bytes,
that can be transferred per second in support of this operation. This
mechanism can be used to throttle a transfer, to reduce its impact on
the performance of the source and destination nodes.
If this parameter is not specified, throttling is not applied to the
data transfer.
Note: The specified value will be rounded up to the nearest megabyte.
Examples
cluster1::> lun move start -vserver vs1 -destination-path /vol/vol2/lun2 -source-path /vol/vol1/lun1
