Migration: Migration Actions

Thank you for your feedback!

There are two ways to migrate storage resources in PowerStore Manager: manual migration and assisted migration. When a volume or volume group is provisioned on a specific appliance, you can choose to manually migrate the storage resource to another appliance in the cluster later. Assisted migrations are recommendations that are based on regular monitoring of storage resources across the appliances in the cluster. These recommendations are generated based on many factors including drive wear, appliance capacity, host connectivity, and health. Recommendations are shown under Migration > Internal Migration as shown in Figure 35. Before removing or shutting down an appliance for service, use this feature to migrate storage resources to another appliance and prevent disruption. When you migrate a volume or volume group, all associated snapshots and thin clones also migrate with the storage resource. To start a migration, select the associated migration action and click Start Migration.
