Select the Apply button.

The settings in the window are applied to the storage system. The specified volume is reserved

as a migration destination.

Tip:

If you right-click a volume preceded by the blue

icon (reserved volume of Auto LUN) and then

choose Normal LDEV from the pop-up menu, the selected icon changes to

and you will not be

able to use the volume as a migration destination.

Notes:

When you click the Apply button one time, up to 64 volumes can be reserved as migration

destinations. If you click the Apply button to reserve more than 64 volumes, an error occurs. To

reserve more than 64 volumes, you must follow the above procedure at least twice. For example,

if you want to reserve 100 volumes, you need to reserve 64 or fewer volumes and then reserve

the remaining volumes.

A volume preceded by the green icon is reserved by a program other than Auto LUN and you

cannot change the attribute of the volume by using the pop-up menu.

Migrating Volumes Manually

To migrate volumes manually, you must create migration plans. A migration plan is a pair of a source

volume and the corresponding target (destination) volume. A migration plan is prepared for each

volume that you want to migrate.
In manual migration, you can specify an external volume in an external volume group as a source

volume or a target volume of migration.

Caution:

When performing a series of manual migration operations, remember that the configuration

changes after each migration is complete.
To migrate volumes manually:
