## 3. Partition Migration Process

1. Select **Start Partition Migration** from the command list and click **Command**.
2. **Observation:** The device may reboot twice. Do not interrupt power during this time. The entire process may take around 2-5 minutes.
3. **Success Criteria:** The migration is successful when `PartitionReformat_Success` is published and the device reboots.
4. If `PartitionReformat_Success` does not appear before device reboot, select **Fetch Partition Status** after the device reboots and click **Command**. If `PartitionMigration_Completed` is published, proceed with device update, If `Partition_MigrationInProgress` is shown, wait for next reboot before updating.
