A customer has a 4-node cluster consisting of a FAS8020 system and an AFF A220 system that is running iSCSI workloads across two separate SVMs. The FAS8020 system is reaching end of support, so they add a new AFF A400 system to migrate workloads off the FAS8020 system. The customer wants to migrate data off the FAS8020 aggregate n1_aggr1 on SVM2 to the AFF A400 aggregate n5_aggr1 on SVM1.
In this scenario, which NetApp command would accomplish this task?
To migrate volume data between different storage virtual machines (SVMs), the appropriate command is 'volume rehost'. This command allows for the reassignment of volumes from one SVM to another, facilitating the movement of workloads without the need for a SnapMirror copy. Despite being a disruptive operation for data access and volume management, 'volume rehost' directly addresses the requirement of migrating data from the FAS8020 aggregate on one SVM to the AFF A400 aggregate on another SVM.
Volume rehost enables you to reassign NAS or SAN volumes from one storage virtual machine (SVM, formerly known as Vserver) to another SVM without requiring a SnapMirror copy. The volume rehost procedures depend upon the protocol type and the volume type. Volume rehost is a disruptive operation for data access and volume management. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/volumes/rehost-volume-another-svm-task.html ********************************************************************************* With the vol move; You can move a FlexVol volume to a different aggregate, node, or both within the same storage virtual machine (SVM) to balance storage capacity after determining that there is a storage capacity imbalance so the most accurate answer is vol rehost option D, which allows us to migrate volS across two separate SVMs
