Move Volume(with LUNs) to a new aggregate

Hi all

I would like to move a flex volume from an aggregate to new one ...

Ontap 7.2.4p6

I found the VOLUME MOVE command, but cannot make it work ...

Any idea

Thanks

Luc,

Don't know about that command, but you should be able to use Vol Copy to do this. Create a vol on destination aggregate that is slightly larger than the source, offline, and restricted. Then use "vol copy start -S sourcevol destvol" to copy over. Then you can use vol rename to change the name of the destination, if necessary.

You can also do this with ndmpcopy or borrow a SnapMirror temp key.

I hope this helps.
