To migrate data from SFW dynamic disks of one enclosure to another

1. Launch VEA from Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Storage Foundation > Veritas Enterprise Administrator or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen.

   Connect to the local system.

2. Launch the Storage Migration Wizard.

   Right-click the Enclosures node, and then on the menu bar click Actions > Migrate Storage.

   Or, right-click Enclosures Node or an individual enclosure and then select Migrate Storage.

3. Review the prerequisites on the Welcome panel and then click Next.
4. On the Storage Component Selection panel, select Migrate data from an array and then from the drop-down list choose the source array enclosure.
5. Click Next to navigate to the Enclosure Disk Selection panel.

   The disks may lie on different disk groups. Select the number of required source disks either by manually selecting one or more source disks for migration or by selecting the Select all disks option.

   Note:

   Only SFW dynamic disks are available for selection as source disks.

   After selecting the source disks click Next to continue.

6. On the Enclosure Disk Target Selection panel, select the target enclosure, as well as map source disk to the destination disk.
   

   Two options for target disk selection mode are available: Automatic and Manual.

   • In the Automatic mode, the source, and target disks are mapped automatically.

   • In the Manual mode, you can map source disk to target disk manually. Here there is a 1:1 mapping from source to target disk.

   Click Next to continue after selecting the desired option.

7. The Summary panel shows the summary of the mapping.

   The Save Summary option on the Summary panel lets you save the selection summary in an HTML file.

   The following details are given in the summary:

   • Automatic mode: Source Enclosure, Target Enclosure, and Source Disks: Target Disks. Here the disk grouping by automatic disk selection is shown.

   • Manual mode: Source Enclosure, Target Enclosure, and Source Disks: Target Disks. Here the 1:1 mapping of source and target disks is shown.

   The default summary file name is StorageMigration_Summary_yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss.html.

   The default location of the file is %allusersprofile%\veritas.

8. Review the summary and click Finish to begin the enclosure migration operation.
9. Now check the storage migration status (whether successful or failed) by completing the following on the VEA:

   • Click the Console tab on the bottom panel of the VEA.

   • Verify that separate Subdisk move tasks are created per subdisk.

   • Click the Tasks tab on the VEA to check the tasks progress in the bottom panel of the console.

   • Wait for all Subdisk move tasks to complete.

   • From the Disk View tab verify that all selected volumes are now migrated to the selected destination disks.
