Out of necessity, another SVC shell script was just born. If you ever need to migrate a whole MDisk group onto another, you quickly discover the limited application of the SVC GUI. Now, you could query the VDisks using your original MDisk Group and then copy and paste the VDisk’s name (or the VDisk ID) into a command line and simply reuse that svctask migratevdisk command over and over.
Luckily IBM blessed the SVC with an SSH interface. So again, we can write a (kinda) simple shell script which may look like this:

And the execution would look like this:
|
1 2 3 4 |
svc-mgmt ~ # svctask_migratemdiskgrp DS3400_146G_R1 DS4700_500G_R6 4 The SVC is already running the maximum amount of migrations at this time. Please retry, once the running migrations finished. |
Or maybe:
