Define a VM policy by moving all files

This method creates a volume management (VM) policy that migrates all files from the source volume to the destination volume. The only migration options that can be specified using this method are the source and destination volumes. No additional migration options or query options can be defined. This is the least refined of the VM migration policies. Procedure Open the Volume Management view. Type a name for the migration policy in the Policy Name box. If you create both VM and hierarchical storage management (HSM) migration policies at your site, implementing a naming convention that differentiates between the two types simplifies managing your policies from the Policies tree after the policies are created. Type a description of the migration policy in the Policy Description box. Click the Definition tab. In the Policy Type section in the upper-right corner of the pane, click Volume Policy. In the Policy Status section in the upper-right corner of the pane, click Active. In the Volume Migration Options section, click Moving All Contents. The remaining migration options become specific to this migration method. Select a source volume from the Source Volume list. Select the volume from which you want to migrate the data. Note The list displays all defined volumes for the Teamcenter database. If you do not see a volume you created during this session, close and reopen the Volume Management application. Select a destination volume from the Destination Volume list. Select the volume to which you want the data migrated. (Optional) Select Retain Copy of Migrated File to retain a copy of the migrated file in the source volume. Previously issued FMS read tickets on the volume files are honored. When these tickets have expired, you must remove the copy of the migrated file by running the review_volumes utility. After you finish defining the data to be migrated, click Create at the bottom of the pane to create the migration policy. The migration policy appears under the Policies tree. What to do next After one or more migration policies are defined, you can preview the results of the migration, then migrate the data.
