Migrate backend storage from CX3 to CX4

Question

I need to migrate 3 CIFS filesystems that are using storage from our CX3 that is going away over to a CX4. The NAS head is a NS-80g, it is zoned to both Clariions right now. Are there any guides for this. The NFS exports are going to be handled by giving them new filesystems and copying the data over. The Cifs shares are off an CIFS server on the NAS head how do I migrate that?

are CIFS servers part of VDM ?

No, there are no VDM's created on the NAS, they belong to the data mover server_2

How can I tell? This NS80 was just added a few months ago when we purchased the new CX4 and a new DMX.

bthessel · Answer

It is the serial number of the DMX.

nas_disk -l | grep -i rootdoes it show serial number of CX3 or CX4 ?

dynamox · Answer

ok, i would use fs_copy to copy data from CX3 file systems to CX4 file systems, unmount old file systems and mount new file systems under the same mount point. I migrated this way from Clariion to DMX3. If you require to migrate boot volumes for DART itself ..for that you will need to engage your local support team.
