Migrate an ADOM to another Storage Pool

Migrate an ADOM to another Storage Pool

Grouping ADOMs with similar log rates and data retention requirements into a storage pool is recommended. For example, group small ADOMs (in terms of log rate and data volume) into one Storage Pool and larger ADOMs in another. When different sized ADOMs are grouped into one storage pool, the query performance on the smaller ADOMs will be affected by the larger ADOMS.

You may need to move an ADOM to another Storage Pool if its data characteristics change dramatically (e.g. increase in log rate) or data retention requirement changes.

After migration, new incoming logs are sent to the new Storage Pool. Historical logs will be kept in the old Storage Pool and managed by the old data retention policy. Logs can be queried seamlessly even though the data resides in multiple Storage Pools.

To migrate an ADOM to another Storage Pool:
  1. Go to System Settings > Storage Pool, and locate the Storage Pool that contains the ADOMs to migrate.
  2. In the Actions column, click More > Migrate ADOM. The migration dialog opens.

  3. From the ADOM dropdown, select the ADOM you want to migrate, and from the Migrate to dropdown, select the target Storage Pool.

  4. Click Migrate. The migration progress notification is displayed.

    The s ADOM Status changes to Migrating in both Storage Pools.

When the migration is complete, two ADOM records are created in both Storage Pools. The pool with the clock icon indicates the ADOM with historical log data. The pool without the clock icon is the ADOM where the new incoming logs are sent.

To view the time range of historical logs, hover over the clock icon.

Truncate historical logs of the migrated ADOM

You can truncate the historical logs of an ADOM in a Storage Pool. Once truncated, the historical logs of the ADOM will be marked for deletion. After the logs are truncated the log data is not searchable, however the space is not cleared immediately. The log data will be retained by the data retention policy of the Storage Pool.

To truncate historical logs:
  1. Go to System Settings > Storage Pool, and locate the Storage Pool that contains the historical ADOM to truncate.
  2. In the Actions column, click More > Truncate Historical Logs. The migration dialog opens.
  3. Click Truncate.
