Elements of the Migrate Window

The Migrate window opens as a two pane window. The left (source) pane contains the source selection spaces, and the right (destination) pane contains the destination selection spaces.

• Migrate Window Source Pane

  The source pane can be viewed in two different ways – By Media or By Job. For instructions on toggling between the two source pane views (By Media and By Job), see Determine Source Pane View”.

  By Media: The source pane displays the hierarchical structure of the source devices and media pools in your Enterprise:\

  + Enterprise
       +Media Pool
            +Media Volume
                 Job and Instance (not selectable)
       + Device Cluster
            + Device
                 Device Path (for SAN configurations)

  You can drill down to the media volume level or the device level by clicking the plus to the left of a resource icon. For a SAN configuration, you can drill down an additional level under Devices to Device Path. By Job: The source pane displays the hierarchical structure of the backup jobs in your Enterprise:\

  + Enterprise
       +Backup Jobs Container
            + Backup Jobs
                 Backup Instance (not selectable)
       Original Device Cluster (not selectable)

  You can drill down to the backup instance level.

• Migrate Window Destination Pane

  The destination pane displays the hierarchical structure of the destination devices and media pools defined in your Enterprise:\

  + Enterprise
       + Media Pool
            + Device Cluster
                 + Device
                      Device Path (for SAN configurations)

  You can drill down to the media pool level or the device level by clicking the plus to the left of a resource icon. For a SAN configuration, you can drill down an additional level under Devices to Device Path.
