Move a Replica Filesystem between Storage Pools

Question

Hi. I have a filesystem replicated between two Celerra NS40G gateways (backend CX4) running 6.0.55.   The primary filesystem was extended successfully on the primary Celerra but the AVM storage pool that the replica is stored on (clar_r5_economy) has filled up, so no replication data is being transferred from the primary and I am getting auto_extend errors on the secondary celerra for the replica FS.    I have space within my clarata_r6 pool, so is there any way I can migrate the replica from one pool to another without having to recreate the replica from scratch. Thanks, K.

Look at the new feature to synchronize a user checkpoint that can then be used as a baseline for creating / restarting a replication

The feature Rainer is talking about is also known as "incremental attach", it is described in the standard replication manual:
