Retrieve data from a remote NFS share

Hello, gents.

I investigate capabilities of the Celerra for creating snapshot from a remote NFS share.


I tried:

1) Created some empty file system(with autoextend option) "test_fs" on Celerra.

2) Enabled DHSM for it.

3) Created DHSM connection between my NFS share "test_nfs" and "test_fs".

I was hoping that when I make a DHSM connection between my NFS share and some file system on Celerra it will start copying files from share to EMC.

4) After a few minutes I created NFS export of "test_fs" and mounted it and.. this file system is empty   It does not have any files from "test_nfs".

5) I   created checkpoint of "test_fs". Checkpoint was empty.

I hope that it will start some copying/migration files.

6) I deleted several files from share "test_nfs" and create checkpoint. Checkpoint was empty.

I hope that it will start some copying/migration files.

7) I modified DHSM connection(enable/disable useRootCred, change read_policy_override etc.). No copying files to "test_fs" and no changes in checkpoints.

Now I read about File Mover and migration file systems, but I can not find a detailed description and a description of their work.

How can I most effectively create a checkpoint of remote NFS share by means of Celerra? Describe to me the steps please.
I would like to use only xml api, but if it impossible I can use the commands by using the SSH connection.

DHSM connection not starting the files coping/migration between NFS/CIFS share and Celerra's file system? What else should I do?

Thanks in advance!
