The process of extent and device migration in a Dell VPLEX environment typically involves the following steps:

Create: The initial step is to create a migration job for the extent or device. This involves specifying the source and target extents or devices and setting up the migration parameters.

Commit: Once the migration job is created, the next step is to commit the jB.This action will start the migration process, where data begins to move from the source to the target.

Clean: After the data has been successfully migrated, the system performs a cleanup operation to remove any temporary data structures or logs that were used during the migration process.

Terminate: The final step is to terminate the migration jB.This step concludes the migration process and releases any resources that were allocated for the migration.

The Dell VPLEX documentation provides detailed procedures on how to perform data migration, including the steps involved in migrating extents and devices1.

Best practices and technical guides from Dell also cover the topic of data migration, offering insights into the process and how to ensure a smooth migration experience1.

By following these steps, a storage administrator can successfully migrate extents and devices within the VPLEX environment, ensuring data availability and minimal disruption to services.
