VNX Unified server_archive to copy file system internally?
Hi All,
Some file systems have been created thick, and utilization is very low. We would like to move the file system internally to a new File System that would be created thin to not face the same issue again and have better utilization.
I am being told that server_archive is a good method. Can someone give an example of how to use it to copy from FS1 to FS2 as the CLI reference looks very confusing?
Thanks!

this dependent from your filesystem mounts
f.e.
use server_mount server_2 to determine the paths
$ server_archive server_2 -rw - /root_vdm_226/dcsvsshub2011/testdir /root_vdm_226/dcsvsshub2011/testdir1
will all files of a dir called testdir from the FS dcsvsshub2011 mounted on root_vdm_226 into the same fs under the directory testdir1
