LUN Migration Commandsmigrate -startDescriptionStarts a LUN migration sessionThe naviseccli migrate command with the -start switch starts a LUNmigration session.Note: If the maximum number of migrations already exists on the subsystem,the new session is still created, but its state is queued.For raw device mapping volumes (RDMs), if you are running VMware ESXServer and you are using the migration feature to copy LUNs to larger LUNsonly, after you complete the migration you must rescan the bus at the ESXServer level. You can also rescan at the virtual machine level (optional). Youthen must expand the file system at the virtual machine level. ESX Server andthe virtual machine will now recognize the completed migration.For configuration specifications, go to the E-Lab Interoperability Navigatoron EMC Powerlink.Syntaxmigrate -start is used with naviseccli (described on page 37) asfollows:There are two distinct versions of this command, one for NavisphereManager and one for Navisphere Express. When using this commandwith Navisphere Express, the syntax is simpler and does not requirebinding the destination LUN first. The process is different withNavisphere Manager and requires you to bind the destination LUNbefore running the command.Note: The following command syntax works only with Navisphere Manager.migrate -start -source LUN ID|WWN -dest LUN ID|WWN [-ratelow|medium|high|asap|value]Note: The following command syntax works only with Navisphere Express.naviseccli migrate -start -source LUN ID|WWN -rg ID [-o]PrerequisitesYou must have a user account on the storage system on which youwant to execute the command.412 EMC Navisphere Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference
