Moving LUNs
You can use Storage Manager to move a LUN from its containing volume to another volume or qtree within a storage virtual machine (SVM). You can move the LUN to a volume that is hosted on an aggregate containing high-performance disks, thereby improving the performance when accessing the LUN.
About this task
You cannot move a LUN to a qtree within the same volume.
If you have created a LUN from a file using the command-line interface (CLI), you cannot move the LUN using Storage Manager.
The LUN move operation is nondisruptive; it can be performed when the LUN is online and serving data.
You cannot use Storage Manager to move the LUN if the allocated space in the destination volume is not sufficient to contain the LUN, and even if autogrow is enabled on the volume.
You should use the CLI instead.
You cannot move LUNs on SnapLock volumes.
