Storage change - storage partition move of closed partition
Hi there,
We´ve to demount an old storage, where the active storagepartition is located.
As the EV-storage is an old direct attached (SCIS) MSA - shared via fileserver to the EV, there´s no possibility to "Migrate" data to the new FC-Storage.
So i´ve to copy all the data (~4TB) via the host to host :( .
My Question:
What would be the best practise:
open an new store on new storage -> modify archiving to the new store
close the old store and robocopy it to new location (TECH35742)
or are there any (better) ideas?
Environment:
EV11.0.1 on ESX 5.1
partition stored via Netshare ( \\fileser\share ) on MSA60
please advise, brgds manuel
That would work. First, create the new partition and start archiving to it. Then you can robocopy the data over and update SQL and be good to go.
Other options include using third-party tools but IMHO would be overkill.
