VNX5300 to Unity500 NFS file replication
Hi There,
We have VNX Gen-1 array (VNX5300) and we have 10 production NFS file shares. Now, we bought an EMC Unity Hybrid Flash Array and want to migrate all NFS shares from VNX5300 to Unity500.
Can we do VNX file replication to achieve the same? else, what is the best way to perform the migration with minimal downtime approach?
Please suggest. Thanks in advance!
Thanks and Regards,
Dhakshinamoorthy Balasubramanian

VNX to Unity replication is not possible directly. Best is, mount the nfs shares from both vnx and unity on a single host and use utilities like rsync to copy from vnx nfs share to unity's nfs share.

You can reference this EMC white paper (page 10).
