# Decommissioning

Decommissiong is a mechanism in MinIO to drain older pools (usually with old hardware) and migrate the content from such pools to a newer pools (usually better hardware). Decommissioning spreads the data across all pools - for example, if you decommission `pool1`, all the data from `pool1` spreads across `pool2` and `pool3`.

If you are using the config `v1` YAML you should migrate your `pools:` field values to the following format

`v1` format
```yaml
pools: # Specify the nodes and drives with pools
  -
    - "https://server-example-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/"
    - "https://server{1...2}-pool1:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/"
