Migrating extents–Introduction

Use the Migrating Extents wizard in the SAN Volume Controller Console to migrate extents that belong to a virtual disk (VDisk) from source managed disk (MDisk) to a target MDisk. You can use this wizard to manually balance a VDisk or VDisk copy's extents among the MDisks in an MDisk group. For example you can migrate extents after a VDisk has been created and you have added more MDisk to an MDisk group. This wizard can only be launched from the VDisk panel.

The following are limitations for the wizard:
  • The maximum number of extents that can be migrated is the number of extents on the MDisk that belongs to the VDisk.
  • The source and target MDisks must be in the same managed disk group.
Within the wizard, you will complete the following tasks to migrate extents:
  • Select the source MDisk
  • Select the target MDisk and extents to migrate
  • Verify the attributes you have specified for the migration
