Move volume in 7-mode

lb98 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:30:29 GMT

Can we move volume to a different aggregate in the 7-mode? I can see there areSDK API to do iy. But looking at the System Manager console for volume, I do not see move action appeared for volumes?

Thanks!

Volume move operations are a feature in clustered Data ONTAP.

7-mode you can snapmirror the volume from source aggregate to destination as a workaround, however this is not a non-disruptive operation.

There was also a more limited vol move capability in the 7mode CLI.

From the requirements page, you can see it was more useful for SAN volumes.

I forgot about that! It's been a bit since I used 7-mode : )

Thanks @SeanHatfield
