Ok guys. I am trying to move some volumes to a lighter aggregate and I am running into a road block. I need some help. I know I cannot use flex clone accross aggregates, but is there another way other than copying the volume and then changing the name, and then destroying the old volume?

I'm not of a way to do that other than moving the data as you stated.

There's no other ways to do it.

One alternative is to do a local snapmirror from one volume to another volume <diff aggr> for rapid data movement.

Sorry - Vol copy if you do not have snapmirror licenses. I did it with snapmirror. If you have luns don't forget the disk ID.
