Data evacuation workflow

Generate a tracking file
When data evacuation starts, a tracking file is created.
Listing and copying data
Listing and copying data uses a producer/consumer model: list operations produce content that the copy operations use to initiate copies.
Errors during list or copy operations
If errors occur during list, read, or write operations, the entire namespace that is being worked on is reinserted into the namespace tracker. It does not affect any other namespace and data evacuation proceeds onto other namespaces. The erroneous namespace is tried again at a later point in time.
Pause and resume evacuations
User can use the Manager Web Interface to pause and resume evacuation.
Read and write operations during evacuation
While data is being evacuated, data can still be read from and written to the destination Slicestor® device.
