Vxevac mirrors the data from one disk to another. You can run multiple mirror operations simultaneously. You could also select to mirror volumes to new disks then remove the plexes from the old disks. Or, with VEA, you can look at the disk group and select the Disk View. From here you can drag and drop the sub disks from one disk to another (it uses vxevac).
The only problem may be flooding the SAN with IO and making your system run slowly.

I have a volume which occupied in multiple disks, and I want relocate the volumes to the newly added disks. Since one vxevac command (moving volumes from one old disk to a new disk) taking very long time to complete, I want to run multiple vxevac commands to run in parallel to move the volumes from all old disks to new disks. I just want to understand whether running multiple vxevac commands in parallel is OK to proceed with, or it should must be in serial way of moving one old disk one by one? Thanks & Regards, Shashi Kanth
