Moving FlexVol volumes

You can nondisruptively move a FlexVol volume to a different aggregate or a node for capacity utilization and improved performance.

Before you begin

If you are moving a data protection volume, data protection mirror relationships must be initialized before you can move one of the volume.

About this task

When you move a volume that is hosted on a Flash Pool aggregate, only the data stored in the HDD tier is moved to the destination aggregate. The cache data associated with the volume is not moved to the destination aggregate. Therefore, some performance degradation might occur after the volume move.

If the aggregate contains Infinite Volume constituents, the wizard does not display the constituents because you cannot use System Manager to move constituents of an Infinite Volume.

Steps
