Move data in a file system to other file system on the same VNX.

LUN migration.

File system within VNX File ?

Sorry because I don't explained about the environment.

The storage is a VNX 5300 Unified, the file system is shared in a VDM.

you can't use LUN Migrator , you can use VNX Replicator if you have a license for it or nas_copy.

Hi dynamox,

Your answer is correct. I will to do the move with nas_copy.

Before mark your answer as correct, I would like to do other question.

Is possible move a file system of 3 TB to a file system of 2,5TB ?

I was checking the area available on other pool and I don't have the same area available to create a file system with igual size of the source.

Thanks in advance.

No - with Replicator it's block based and src + dst need to be exactly the same files

Otherwise you need to copy file based - the options for that have been discussed here on the forum a couple of times - just search for ndmp_copy or server_archive

It's going to be slower then compared to Block based

You could also use the /chunk option in EMCopy (EMCopy 4.09 and later)

If the source and destination CIFS servers are the same (on the same Data Mver) that shoul avoid traffic DM_src_CIFS  --> Windows server running EMCopy --> DM_dst_CIS on the network (because using this option and also because  DM_src_CIFS and DM_dst_CIFS would be the same CIFS servers

and as a last resort there is a host based migration option (emcopy/robocopy/rsync)
