Requirements for performing a volume move

Before you move a volume nondisruptively, you must be aware of the type of volumes you can move and the operations that might conflict with the volume move. The volume move does not start if the volume has unsupported settings or if there are conflicting operations.

•	Your FAS system or V-Series system must be running Data ONTAP 8.1 Cluster-Mode SAN or later.

•	All hosts that access any LUNs in the volume must be supported in the Interoperability Matrix.

•	The volume must be online.

•	You cannot move the following types of volumes:

•	A root volume

•	A FlexCache volume

•	A compressed 64-bit volume to a 32-bit volume

•	The source volume must be consistent.

•	The following conflicting operations must not be running:

•	SnapRestore of the source volume or the containing aggregate

•	WAFLIron operation on the source or the destination aggregate

•	Revert operation on the storage system

Note: FlexClone volumes of the source volume are not moved along with the source volume.
