Copy data from one volume to the other in a different aggr

Hello -

On my v6210 I wish to copy data from a volume that iss on aggr to a volume on aggr1

I think this would be the fastest method of doing so - but everytime a I try it clones the volume to the same aggr I need it to go to a a different aggr. (will use aggr1 for sake of example)

vol clone create new_vol -s none -b source_vol

Lets say sourcevol I want to clone is on a aggr5 but I want to clone a volume in aggr 5 to aggr1 on the same filer. Can I do this with flexclone?

vol copy is simply to slow and I havent tried ndmp yet.

thought ? Hints and tips?

Flex clone is in the same aggr and can't cross aggrs.  If a San volume you can vol move.  Otherwise snap mirror, vol copy or ndmpcopy
