A customer has a 4-node cluster consisting of a FAS8020 system and an AFF A220 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.
Moving a Volume will only work if you are doing it within the same SVM
Volume Reallocation is used when you add new disks to an aggregate and you need to redistribute the data
Aggregate Reallocation can be used only when you are moving data from an AFF filer to another AFF filer
Rehosting a volume from one SVM to 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.
