isi_vol_copy - Netapp to isilon migration - CIFS share permissions
hello,
we are doing netapp to isilon migration , all NFS shares are ok but when it comes to CIFS we following the below procedure.
1. create a share/directory on target isilon leaving default permissions ( everyone read-only)
2. isi_vol_copy netappfiler01:/vol/cifs1 /ifs/icifs1 -sa root: -full ( doing full copy on days before the cut over )
3. do another incremental copy on cut-over day: isi_vol_copy netappfiler01:/vol/cifs1 /ifs/icifs1 -sa root: -incr
4. add required users on isilon cifs shares and open share properties and add user on NTFS security and apply same ( inherit ) for all child objects.
this works fine for us until now bec they are small , but we have couple of cifs shares which have > 900,000 files in it so final step ( 4) is taking for ever
so is there anyway we can overcome this like carry over ntfs permission through isi_vol_copy or any other solutions.
appreciate any help.

The step 2 will copy all the contents on netappfiler01:/vol/cifs1/*.* and dump it to /ifs/icifs1 folder and will not set the permissions on icifs1 folder. To inherit the permission of the source folder ( in this case volume) you can mention same name as source ( isi_vol_copy netappfiler01:/vol/cifs1 /ifs/cifs1 -sa root: -full) and once the copy is complete, just rename the folder on the destination to icifs1 if that is your preferred name for the folder. Make sure you test this before doing it in production. Also make sure while creating shares make sure you do not apply "windows default ACLs".
