Resuming a data migration

This topic describes how to resume a stopped data-migration process.

Context

If you stop the data-migration process or if the process is terminated for some other reason, you can resume the migration after the last completed file or block without requiring a complete restart. If you migrated the same data set without specifying the –restart option again, the data-migration process starts from the beginning, and the data on the target file system will be overwritten.

Steps

To resume a data migration, invoke the migratedata –phase migrate –resume command on the SAN File System client machine.

Attention: You must specify the same log file as that used by the data-migration process being resumed. If you specify a different log file and do not specify the –f option, you will receive an error and the migration will stop. If you specify a different log file and specify the –f option, you will receive a warning and the data on the target file system will be overwritten.
