Cleaning a batch migration

For device migrations, cleaning dismantles the source device down to its storage volumes. The storage volumes that are no longer in use are unclaimed.

About this task

For device migrations only, use the optional --rename-target argument to rename the target device after the source device. If the target device is renamed, the virtual volume on top of it is also renamed if the virtual volume has a system-assigned default name.

Without renaming, the target devices retain their target names, which can make the relationship between volume and device less evident.

Use the batch-migrate clean --file command to clean the specified batch migration.

CAUTION:This command must be run before the batch-migration has been removed. The command will not clean migrations that have no record in the VPlexcli context tree.

In the following example, source devices are torn down to their storage volumes and the target devices and volumes are renamed after the source device names

VPlexcli:/> batch-migrate clean --rename-targets --file migrate.txt
Using migration plan file /temp/migration_plans/migrate.txt for cleanup phase.
