Chapter 6 Managing the File System
Performing Stripe Group Movement
StorNext User’s Guide 157
(StorNext has different mechanisms for moving data stripe groups versus
metadata/journal stripe groups.)
Launching the Movement
Wizard 6
Use the following procedure to perform stripe group movement.
1 From the SNFS home page, choose Move Stripe Group from the
Admin menu. The Move Stripe Group screen appears, showing the
following information for completed moves and moves in progress:
• File System: The name of the file system involved in the move
• Type: Specifies whether the move is for a data stripe group or a
metadata/journal stripe group
• Lun/Stripe Group: The name of the lun/stripe group involved in
the move
• Start Time: The date and time the move was launched
• Percentage Complete: The current percentage complete status
for the move
• Status: For current moves the status will be Progress. For
previously completed moves the status will be either Success or
Fail.
Note: During Stripe Group Movement, affinities are preserved when
files are moved from one stripe group to another.
Consequently, there must be sufficient space on one or more
destination stripe groups for any affinities on the source stripe
group. (You must add any affinities from the source stripe
group to the new stripe group.)
