Migrating File System in VNX

Hello  All,

 

I have a file system  named “ server_dr” created from 4+1 Raid 5 NL-SAS pool and I want to migrate it to a R6 NL-SAS Pool. The file system is currently used as  destination for replication session from VNXe.

Can you please let me know

  1. how I  can migrate the file system  to the new pool without affecting the replication
  2. If I stop the replication ( for 1-2 days)  and copy the data from  existing filer system  to new and recreate the replication session, will it do only the  incremental or start  the full replication
  3. Which  tool I should use to copy replicator, San copy or nas_copy
  4. Is there any option of LUN migration similar to one in block

The is a VNX 5300 Unified running 7.1.55-3

Regards,

D

Hi,

If you create a new replication session it will start a full copy, hence i would suggest you to create a new file system from new R6 NL-SAS drive and start a new replication session using the file system from R6 pool.
