HP StorageWorks P9000 Tiered Storage Manager Software 7.1.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB585-96014, September 2011)

There are comment lines (lines that begin with #) in the candidate migration plan. If multiple migration
target volume candidates exist, they are all shown within comment lines as well. Note that all volumes,
other than the first candidate, are chosen not only from the SLPR to which the migration source volume
belongs, but also from the other SLPRs.
Even if you cannot select candidates for the migration target volume for all the migration source
volumes, the candidate migration plans with selected migration targets will be created. However, in
such a case, an error will occur.
If the migration group contains non-migratable volumes, only the volumes that are migratable will be
migrated. Note that, if there are no migratable volumes, an error will occur when you attempt to
create the migration plan.
For non-migratable volumes, the source volume will select itself as the target volume in the candidate
migration plan.
This command does not reserve volume migration for migration source and target volumes.
Volumes specified for tasks that have not ended (whose status is not End) cannot be selected as
migration target volumes, because volume migration has been reserved for such volumes. You can
use the GetTasks command to check the status of tasks.
You cannot create candidate migration plans for the storage domains whose refresh status is either
Processing, Failure, or RefreshRequired.
For details on candidate migration plans that contain comments, see “Output items” on page 95.
Editing a created candidate migration plan
You can use a created candidate migration plan in its current state for migration, or you can change
the contents by editing the text data. The format of a candidate migration plan is as follows:
• Each item consists of an item name, equal sign (=), and value, in that order. Note that only the
item name is specified for pair.
• Any space characters before or after the item name, equal sign (=), and value are ignored.
• Specify only one item per line. The specification for an item cannot continue over multiple lines.
• Item names are not case-sensitive (for example, storagedomainname and STORAGEDOMAINNAME
are the same).
• Item values are case-sensitive (for example, groupName_1 and GroupName_1 are different).
• Lines in which the first non-space character is a hash mark (#) are treated as comments.
Specify the items in the order listed in the table below:
