Pausing/resuming a migration (optional)

Active migrations (a migration that has been started) can be paused and then resumed at a later time.

Pause an active migration to release bandwidth for host I/O during periods of peak traffic.

Use the dm migration pause --migrations command to pause a migration.

Specify the migration-name by name if that name is unique in the global namespace. Otherwise, specify a full pathname.

For example:

Pause a device migration:

VPlexcli:/data-migrations/device-migrations> dm migration pause --migrations migrate_012

Use the dm migration resume --migrations command to resume a paused migration.

Specify the migration-name by name if that name is unique in the global namespace. Otherwise, specify a full pathname.

For example:

Resume a paused device migration:

VPlexcli:/data-migrations/device-migrations> dm migration resume --migrations migrate_012
