Moving a specific file

This topic describes how to move one or more specific files.

Prerequisites

You must have Administrator privileges to perform this task.

The client must have access to all LUNs in the source and target storage pool for the files that are being moved.

Context

You can use this method to move one or more specific files. For information about moving files automatically based on file attributes, see Moving and deleting files automatically.
Note:
  • Files that are in the process of being moved can be accessed in read mode; however, write actions to a file are delayed until the move is completed.
  • When moving files, all the FlashCopy® images for the file are also moved.

Steps

  1. Click Manage Filing > Move Data Files from the My Work frame.
  2. Enter the fully-qualified path names of the files that you want to move, separated by commas.
  3. Click Details to view information about these files.
  4. Select the storage pool to which you want to move the files from the Available pools table. You can also use this method to defragment a file rather than move it by specifying the same storage pool as its current storage pool.
  5. Click Available Clients to view a list of clients that have access to the volumes contained in the storage pool and select a client to move the files.
  6. Click Move to move the files.
