File System / Cifs Server migration from Data Mover to VDM on the same VNX

there have been a few discussions how to do that, if you search the forum you will find them. Also look at this primus solution: emc170111

You may also refer to the below mentioned discussion and documents:

Thank you guys, both very kind!

I've opened another thread just because I didn't understand if the other advice would fit my needs.

I've just tested the primus procedure with a test cifs-server and a little file system on a windows 2003 domain and it worked fine.

Moreover, do you have any advice about NFS shares?

The customer uses to share/export both with cifs and NFS the same file system. I found the version he is running on the VNX correctly support NFS over VDM but, in your expereince, is there some issue that I'm going to experience during the cifs server move?

Thanks in advance

so they are doing multi-protocol access, do you know how they are authenticating NFS clients ?

Correct.

The FSs are configured in native mode and the NFS clients are autenticated through NIS Server meanwhile CIFS client are authenticated through AD.

How would I get access to this primus solution?
