Pause snapshot vTree migration

PowerFlex allows you to pause a vTree migration at any time.

About this task

You can pause vTree migration using the following methods:
  • Gracefully—allows all data blocks currently being migrated to finish migration before pausing the overall migration.
  • Forcefully—aborts the migration of all blocks currently in progress.
    CAUTION:This method carries a potential risk of data loss.

Steps

  1. On the menu bar, click Protection > Snapshots.
  2. In the list of snapshots, select the desired snapshot.
  3. In the right pane, click View Details.
  4. In the left pane, click the VTree tab.
  5. In the left pane, from the VTree menu on the right, select Pause Migration.
  6. In the Pause VTree Migration dialog box, select the desired option, and then click Pause Migration.
    If you selected to pause the migration gracefully, the migration state is displayed. Once paused, you can choose to roll back the vTree migration or resume the vTree migration from the VTree menu.
  7. Verify that the operation has finished and was successful, and then click Dismiss.
