Online Data migration within zones

Hi, To overcome performance issues on /ifs/data paths, we are thinking to migrate data from /ifs/data to /ifs/Tier1 zone.

Basically tier1 zones are configured with S nodes and

/ifs/data zones are configured with X nodes.

Source path: /ifs/data/folder1

Target path: /ifs/tier1zone/folder1

What is the best method to migrate this data online.

Any configuration changes required on server side.

All these are NFS shares.

Please suggest.

rough outline:

disconnect NFS clients

remove NFS export

remove quota settings for folder1, if any

use a plain mv on the Isilon to "migrate" folder1

re-establish quotas

re-establish NFS exports

let the clients mount from new path

A good practice for setting up the folder structure is

/ifs/ / /

You might consider adopting this scheme, in particular if you use

SyncIQ and/or multiple access zones, or want to be prepared for later introduction.
