Duplicate names between thin pools after VLUN Migration


I'm moving some bound volumes between two different thin pools (and backing storage groups) to appease a DBA manager.

I've done a VLUN migration, pinned the volume, confirmed that it completed, then terminated the session.  The name of the LUN still exist as a bound volume in the original thin pool and has 0% allocated, while the same name exists as other pool bond volumes and has 100% allocated.

I was under the impression that the VLUN migration would take the LUN from one thin pool to another thin pool transparently and not leave some residual volume pointer around.

I tried it with another volume in the same thin pool, and did a VLUN migration.  This time, I did not pin the volume, selected the same thin pool (different from the original) and confirmed both from SMC and the SE (using symmigrate) that the migration completed.  When I terminated that session, I don't see that volume in the new thin pool, as a bound volume, or as an other pool bound volume.

Ideas?

Can you check the status of the LUN with symdev?  I've seen strange behaviors in older SMC and Unisphere for VMAX (UfV), where we needed to re-discover the VMAX to get pool associations visible in UfV.

Let us know what you find!

From the Solutions Enabler, I do a symdev list | grep 05DD and see

05DD Not Visible            ***:*  NA:NA  TDEV          N/Grp'd      RW  131073

when I do a:

symdev show 05DD

I get:   I was expecting that VLUN migration would move from ASE_R5 to ASE_R5_20K.  I see one in unisphere as an other pool bound volume with the same id (05DD), but don't get what I'm missing here.
