Hello,

I am looking for the procedure on how to easily move Luns from

one position to another.

    Create an equally large LUN on another RG; the LUN number doesn't matter. Right click on the LUN you want to be moved and choose migrate. Then select the LUN you just created. The LUN will be moved on the fly, transparrent to the user, so you don't notice anything and don't need to change anything afterwards. You might want to consider setting the priority, since on heavily used LUN's, you might notice a performance degradation. After the migration is done the temporary LUN will be gone.

    lun migration.......................

    LUN migration requirements

    The source and destination LUNs for the migration must reside in

    the same storage system.

    You can launch only one LUN migration in a single operation.

    The source LUN cannot be a hot spare, or a binding, expanding,

    migrating, or private LUN.

    The source LUN cannot be a component LUN of a metaLUN.

    The destination LUN must be the same size or larger than the

    source LUN.

    The destination LUN cannot be a hot spare, a binding, expanding,

    migrating, or private LUN.

    The destination LUN cannot be in a storage group.

    The destination LUN cannot be part of a SnapView, MirrorView,

    or cloning operation

    A migration can be in any of the following states:

    Queued

    Migrating

    Faulted

    Migrated

    Transitioning

    To migrate a LUN:

    1. Ensure that the source and destination LUNs meet the

    requirements described earlier.

    2. In the

    Storage tree, navigate to the LUN or metaLUN whose data

    you want to migrate (source LUN).

    3. Right-click the LUN or metaLUN and click

    LUN Migration >

    Migrate

    ASAP, High, Medium, or Low.

    6. If the LUN choices and migration rate you specified are correct,

    click

    OK.

    Manager displays a confirmation box, and, if the destination LUN

    is larger than the source LUN, a warning. The warning states that

    you are changing the LUN size and should verify that all attached

    hosts can handle such a dynamic change.

    7. To continue with the migration, select

    Yes.

    The LUN migration starts.

    Also, there is very good information in the on-line Help and on POwerLink:
