Chapter 8. Advanced host and volume administration 413
8.3.8 Migrating a volume to another storage pool
To migrate a volume to another storage pool, see 6.8, “Migrating a volume to another storage
pool” on page 333.
8.3.9 Exporting to an image mode volume
Image mode provides a direct block-for-block translation from a managed disk (MDisk) to a
volume with no virtualization. An image mode MDisk is associated with one volume only. This
feature can be used to export a volume to a non-virtualized disk and to remove the volume
from storage virtualization.
Note: You can expand the capacity of volumes in Metro Mirror and Global Mirror
relationships that are in consistent_synchronized state if those volumes are using
thin-provisioned or compressed copies.
You cannot expand the following types of volumes:
Volumes in HyperSwap relationships or in Global Mirror relationships that are operating
in cycling mode
Volumes in relationships where a change volume is configured
Volumes that have a fully allocated copy
For further information on volume expansion see the following website:

Note: Among the IBM Storwize V5000 family, this feature is available only on the IBM
Storwize V5030 storage systems.
