Manually Move a Volume Based on a Recommendation
If a threshold alert recommends moving volumes to a different Storage Center but does not recommend moving a specific volume, decide
which volumes to move and manually create Live Volumes to move them.
About this task
NOTE: This method is the only way to move a volume for Storage Centers running version 7.0 or earlier. For other
Storage Centers running version 7.1 or later, create a Live Migration to move the volume. For more information on
