Viewing extent migration progress

Use the Viewing Extent Migration Progress panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to monitor the progress of migrating data (extents) from one MDisk to another. Start the process of migrating extents either with the svctask migrateexts command in the command-line interface or by using the Migrating MDisks Extents wizard.

Introduction

To view the progress of migrating extents, click Extent Migration in the portfolio.

If you have many extents that are currently being migrated, you can filter the list. In the actions list, click Show Filter Row and then click the link under the column to filter. This displays a new panel where you can define filter criteria.

When you click the link to migrate your extent, more detailed information is displayed.
