Start the Vserver migrate operation

Availability: This command is available to cluster administrators at the advanced privilege level.

Description

This command starts the migration of a Vserver from one cluster to another. This has to be run on the destination cluster, i.e. the cluster where the Vserver is intended to migrate. The source cluster from where the Vserver is to be migrated is specified in the command.

Name of the Vserver which needs to be migrated.

-source-cluster <Cluster name> - Source Cluster Name (privilege: advanced)

[-force {true|false}] - Force flag for continuing with disruptive migrate (privilege: advanced)

The force parameter is set to true when the user wants Vserver migrate operation to continue to completion even though the 30 sec cutover duration is not met. When this parameter is used, it indicates that the admin wants to perform a disruptive migrate operation.

[-auto-cutover {true|false}] - Automatically cutover when ready (privilege: advanced)
