Hi,

I have a meta device assigned to a server and that device seems to be saturated during the day time. It shows high i/o, busy % and all that and it seems to be completely saturated. After checking it with EMC, it turned out to be disks on which the members of that meta device (including the meta head) are from four disks which are utilized 100% and EMC has recommended to move  whatever part of the application resides on that meta  to a different volume.

Now, I have question as to how can I move that part of application to a different volume?

Does that require the application to be stopped?, do I need to ues a BCV and create a copy of that meta and ask the unix team to use the new device instead of the existing meta?

Thanks in advance..
