Replicated File Systems that are mounted under File Systems

Replicated File Systems that are mounted under File Systems?

I have posted a different discussion as what I'm after is the following:

If I mounted a file system under a file system (was able to do this as I configured an NMFS root).

Can I replicate all component File Systems?

Having issues via the GUI as it fails with the following error:

CFS: 3: A file system is mounted on path /root_vdm_8/Staging/Staging1/Productions which is a sub-directory under the requested mount path /root_vdm_8/Staging/Staging1

It seems as if the destination Celerra is NOT aware of the NMFS?

Not sure any pointers?

    We have an NMFS, with three file systems mounted.  The three file systems that are mounted replicate sucessfully to our secondary Celerra - which does not have a NMFS.

    I understand that you have this configration:

    NMFS (Staging)

    |---------FS1 (Staging1)

               |---------FS2 (Other)

               |---------FS3 (Productions)

    We have file systems mounted to the NMFS root.  I did not know you could mount a file system to another file system (FS2 and FS3 mounted to FS1).  Could you (or anyone) please show me how to accomplish that?

    More specifically - what documentation describes this?

    Thanks...

    Received the following from EMC on this configuration:

    NESTING UXFS FILE SYSTEMS UNDER ANOTHER UXFS FILE SYSTEM:

    Evidently, our earlier NAS versions (prior to 5.5.27) allowed the nesting of one filesystem underneath another, but this is not

    encouraged or really supported

    NMFS is not the same thing as nesting one file system under another. Rather, it is the nesting of multiple uxfs file systems under a

    common /nmfs file system object and mountpoint, with each uxfs file system having its own mountpoint defined under the toplevel

    NMFS mountpoint

    /nmfs

    /nmfs/fs1

    /nmfs/fs2, etc.

    However, I'm running Dart 6 and was able to perform this operation.

    I created the NMFS Mount Point: Staging

    I then created FS1 and under Mount Point, selected Custom and mounted it under: /Staging/Staging1

    I then craeted FS2 and under Mount Point, selected Custom and mouned it under:  /Staging/Staging1/Other

    I then craeted FS3 and under Mount Point, selected Custom and mouned it under:  /Staging/Staging1/Productions
