This page displays the progress or status of the current migration task, or the result of the last migration task.
Managing Your Migration Tasks
To pause your migration task:
- Click Pause to pause your migration task.
Note:
- While pausing a task, the target server needs to push the task back to a restorable state. Thus, it may take a short period for the task to be completely paused.
To resume your migration task:
- Click Resume to resume your migration task.
To cancel your migration task:
- Click Cancel to cancel your migration task.
- A confirmation window will be displayed. Click Yes to confirm.
Note:
- After canceling, the system will delete the current migrating volume or LUN to prevent system error. Thus, it may take a short period for the task to be completely canceled.
- After canceling, the volumes or LUNs which were migrated will not be deleted. They will be kept on the target server.
To restart the target server in the System stage:
