Volume migration

Hello All,

We have an requirement to move data from one disk to another disk within same DPM Server.

We are trying to migrate the volume from Disk1 to Disk2 by using the below blog:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd282970.aspx

but we dont see the data getting transfered only the volume gets transfered.

Also we tried running the command dpmsync.exe -reallocateReplica and no success.

Could someone help me in migrating the volume without deleting the migrated disk, we need this for later restoration.

Regards,

Suman Rout

When you migrate a disk or a data source, new replica and recovery points volumes are created and the original replica data is copied to the new replica.  All new recovery points are made using the new volumes.  The recovery points on the old volumes will be pruned based on original retention goals for that protection group.  When all the RP's on the old volumes are expired, DPM will delete the old replica and recovery point volumes automatically.
