Batch migrations

Batch migrations are run as batch jobs from reusable batch migration plan files. Migration plan files are created using the create-plan command.

A single batch migration plan can be for devices.

NOTE:Migrations consume cache resources. Running multiple migrations concurrently may impact host I/O.

Use batch migrations to:

  • Retire storage arrays (off-lease arrays) and bring new ones online.
  • Migrate devices to a different class of storage array.

The steps to perform a batch migration are generally the same as those described in the General procedure to perform data migration.

There are two additional steps to prepare for a batch migration:

  1. Create a batch migration plan file (using the batch-migrate create-plan command)
  2. Test the batch migration plan file (using the batch-migrate check-plan command)
