Changing volume owner

alexander_bahia — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:31:13 GMT

Can the Netapp FAS3170 move a Volume/LUN from a controller A to controller B in non disruptive mode?

Example:

move vol1 from aggr0 in controllerA to aggr1 in controllerB.

No. NDVM can move a FlexVol from aggr to aggr in same controller only, and NDVM only
does this with FlexVols with LUNs, no NAS yet.

Your best method will be to use SnapMirror and then take a small outage for cutover (update shares \ igroups or whatever your FlexVol provides).

Thank you Spance.

I did not know the NDVM, but only for Ontap 8.
