Migrate diskGroup on MD3000i SAN
Posted on 2012-12-21
Hi,
I need the syntax to migrate a diskGroup on our MD3000i GEN1 SAN to another MD3000i GEN2.
I already tried:
SMcli "SAN" -c "start diskGroup [1] export;"
and I get the following error:
Encountered "<EOF>" at line 1, column 33.
Was expecting one of:
"blink" ...
"defragment" ...
SMcli failed.
I know it can be done but I can't get it work
Thanks

Hi,
According to the MD3000i Commnad Line Manual (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/md3000i/en/2ndGen/CLI/PDF/CLIMR2g.pdf), the Virtual Disk Copy feature enables you to copy data from one virtual disk (the source) to another virtual disk (the target) in a single storage array (Page 77). Thus it is impossible to copy data from one array to another using the CLI only. Thanks
Best regards,
Patrick

I just did it using the SMcli command over the weekend. It's possible to move a RAID group from one SAN to another using the SMcli command.
Generation 1 doesn't support export/import command, therefore I had to use offline/online command instead and then physically move the raid set into the new SAN.
