Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The remark on scalability was a bit too pessimistic: when migrating
many volumes, some of the jobs may well run simultaneously.

If the Migration control job finds a number of JobIds to migrate (e.g.
it is asked to migrate one or more Volumes), it will start one new
migration backup job for each JobId found on the specified Volumes.
Please note that Migration doesn't scale too well since Migrations are
done on a Job by Job basis. This if you select a very large volume or
a number of volumes for migration, you may have a large number of
Jobs that start. Because each job must read the same Volume, they will
run consecutively (not simultaneously).


If the Migration control Job finds more than one existing Job to
migrate, it creates one migration job for each of them. This may result
in a large number of Jobs. Please note that Migration doesn't scale too
well if you migrate data off of a large Volume because each job must
read the same Volume, hence the jobs will have to run consecutively
rather than simultaneously.
