VNX to unity file migration import fail

Hi,

Am trying to migrate cifs data from VNX5400 to Unity XT 380.

so i tried to find good documentf or this migration but not clear all documents which i found.

but i tried to configure import session from unity and its fail.

below steps i followed.

VNX

01.checked DNS and NTP sync.both box using same time.

02.created new interface(under already created FSN device) name nas_migration_port

03.that port attached to the CIFS server(CIFS attached to domain)  and CIFS svr running on VDM.

 04.enabled cifs local admin and reset password.

Unity

01.created mobility interface on unity SPA and SPB

02.Added connection between vnx to unity(selected vnx SPA ip for this config)

03.Created import session.(But i cant see nas_migration_port,its adding with production port.)

after 5 min this session fail.so i want to verify which i created configurations correct or not.

This migration for files.

below steps i followed.

requireed cifs perameters also changed in vnx

01.DNS and NTP sync between vnx to unity xt

02.enabled local admin in vnx

server_cifs -add compname= ,domain= ,local_users

03.Create nas migration port

[nasadmin@VNX5400 ~]$ server_ifconfig server_2 -create -Device cge-1-1 -name nas_migration_vnx5400 -protocol IP 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1

04.Interface attached to the VDM

[nasadmin@VNX5400 ~]$ nas_server -vdm vdm11 –attach nas_migration_vnx5400

05.Create subdomain entry for nas_migration interface

[nasadmin@VNX5400 ~]$ server_cifs vdm-1 -add compname=test,domain=test.lk,interface=nas_migration_vnx5400,dns=vnx.migration.test.lk

Your best option may be to call phone support and have them assist with the  migration.

Thanks your reply,

i created SR and lady checked and sh said migration interface not added to cifs server.the i added it like below.

server_cifs vdm-1 -add compname=test,domain=test.lk,interface=nas_migration_vnx5400,dns=vnx.migration.test.lk

after that another CIFS server created on same VDM,then i update SR .

after that she said then delete first cifs server.so i checked newly added cifs server and details,no any existing shares link with new cifs server.so if i deleted then lost my share acces.

actulay i want to know one thin.

01.this nas_migration port should be physical interface(no FSN or aggregation)?

o2.how to add interface with subdomain to CIFS server?

thanks
