What is a volume move and when would you perform it?

• A. It relocates a volume between aggregates or controllers to rebalance capacity or performance
• B. It creates a new snapshot
• C. It deletes a volume
• D. It clones a volume

Answer: (C)

A volume move is the process of relocating a volume from one aggregate or controller to another to rebalance where data sits and how workloads are distributed. You’d perform it when an aggregate or controller is becoming a bottleneck—either running out of free space or handling more I/O than others can efficiently manage. Moving the volume helps even out capacity and performance, especially after adding new disks or shelving, consolidating workloads, or needing a faster tier for hot data. This is different from creating a snapshot, deleting a volume, or cloning a volume, which serve other purposes.
