Isilon copy utilities for compliance domain
I have a large amount of committed files in a Enterprise domain, and need to copy into a compliance domain. I must maintain the committed retention values.
So far these do not support this action.
SyncIQ ; cannot copy from enterprise to compliance type
ndmpcopy ; must be executed by root; but is not allowed on compliance cluster that is locked down
Any help appreciated.

telenoiz88,
DobiMigrate, formerly called DobiMiner from my company, Datadobi can do it. We can:
1. Keep atimes (retention)
2. Keep mtimes
3. Provide a chain-of-custody csv including md5 hashes on all files and timestamps when done.
4. Keep all permissions POSIX or NTFS ACLs
5. Commit the files to match the commit status of the source data.
What cannot be done? The only thing that no tool can do is to keep ctimes. The reason is that ctimes are not modifiable, because the ctime is based upon when the metadata of the file was last changed, and there is no way to override that. We can do SnapLock, SmartLock, VNX FLR, all in enterprise and compliance modes. SmartLock Compliance mode is especially complicated, but we've engineered a great solution to do that as well.
Here's a blog post I wrote about it with a 7-minute demo video back in January:
