→ Applies to: SynetoOS 4.x

Ensure VMs are powered off before migration in order to avoid data inconsistency.

Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 2. Change into Solaris shell (in case you're directed to an unsupported shell)

un sh

Step 3. Get root privileges

sudo su -

Step 4. List datasets

zfs list

EXAMPLE OUTPUT

NAME                               USED    AVAIL   REFER   MOUNTPOINT
flash                              79.8G   3.30T   25K     /flash
flash/_metadata                    1.71M   3.30T   152K    /flash/_metadata
flash/syn-volumes                  79.7G   3.30T   34K     /flash/syn-volumes
flash/datastores                   6.75G   3.30T   34K     /flash/datastores
flash/datastores/SICSRVSISTEMI     6.75G   3.30T   6.75G   /flash/datastores/SICSRVSISTEMI

Step 5. Migrate VMs between datasets (replace <current_path> and <new_path> with the correct information)

syncoid --no-sync-snap -o recordsize=64k <current_path> <new_path>

IMPORTANT
The new path must NOT exist. The dataset is automatically created with the name set by the user by the syncoid tool.

EXAMPLE

syncoid --no-sync-snap -o recordsize=64k flash/datastores/SICSRVSISTEMI flash/datastores/SICSRVSISTEMI-64k

Step 6. Create Metadata ("How to Create Metadata in SynetoOS 4")
