please see the VNX Replicator manual under "Manage expected outages"
I you are unsure I would suggest to setup a test VDM and work out the steps before using on a production VDM
Failover same IP isnt implemented - client will get to know the new IP from DNS,broadcast and re-connect to the new IP
or you would have to do that manually
for one-time move see nas_migrate which will failover the IP

Thanks Rainer,
This are production.cant do testing.because all filesystems use.i can do failover to other side.but how to mount cifs server and user shares?

unless you are completely out of disk space it shouldnt be much work to setup a new VDM with new CIFS server plus a small file system for testing
