This command moves a volume and all of its snapshots from one Storage Pool to
another.
When moving a master volume from one Storage Pool to another, all of its
snapshots are moved together with it to the destination Storage Pool.
This command fails when trying to move a snapshot of a volume on its own. This
command can fail as a result of either a lack of soft or of hard space.
This command only succeeds if the destination Storage Pool has enough free
storage capacity to accommodate the volume and its snapshots. The exact amount
of storage capacity allocated from the destination Storage Pool is released at the
source Storage Pool.
A volume which belongs to a Consistency Group cannot be moved without the
entire Consistency Group. You may use Moving Consistency Groups between
Storage Pools or or Grouped Pools to move the Consistency Group itself from one
Storage Pool to another.
A volume that is asynchronously mirrored can't be moved into a thin provisioning
pool.
Example:
vol_move vol=DBLog pool=DBPool
