There are some cases you might need to migrate your protection data to a new disk. DPM Sp1is shipped with a Powershell script that allows you to migrate your protection data to new storage.
For this you need to follow these steps:
First get a list of disks attached to your DPM server; pay attention to the order the disks are listed
Start the DPM Management Shell
| PS> get-dpmdisk –dpmservername DPM01 Name Status NtDiskId Total Capaci Unallocated Type ty Space ---- ------ -------- ------------ ------------ ---- COMPAQ MSA... Healthy 3 732 GB 582 GB Basic #0 COMPAQ MSA... Healthy 4 732 GB 582 GB Basic #1 VMware Vir... Healthy 1 50 GB 28 GB Basic #2 VMware Vir... Healthy 2 5 GB 0 GB Basic #3 |
Read the disk order in to a variable ($disk)
| PS > $disk = Get-DPMDisk -DPMServername dpm01 |
Now you can use the script MigrateDatasourceDataFromDPM.ps1. First find the disk number of the source disk, these numbers are not displayed when you use the get-dpmdisk command. Do not get fooled by the NTdiskID, you do not need those. You just need to count the disks listed starting with 0 (see red numbers in example). Now find the number for the destination disk using the same trick.
In the example below we like to migrate the data from disk 2 to disk 1
| PS > ./MigrateDatasourceDataFromDPM.ps1 -DPMServerName dpm01 -Source $disk[2] -Destination $disk[1] |
