Rainer thanks for your feedback. I tested this on single FS\VDM\CIFS Server\CIFS Share. However, during the cutover the file sytem mounts had to be deleted and re-created and I recieved access denied on the shares. When I delete the share and re-create it works.
After the cutover the shares are still pointing to the source which is renamed to fs1_old the destination fs1_replica1 is renamed to fs1 is now the source ...My assumption is when accessing the shares the access deny occurs because it still think it is pointing to the source (now fs1_old) on a different file storage pool.
Yes you cannot have two with FS with identical name. I have replicated and cut over to DR on multiple occasion with no issues ....replicating to a different storage is fine. This is my first time using the loop back interface to replicate locally which replicate great its just the cutover process that I am having issues with.
1. switchover
2. rename source to xxx1_old
3 rename desitination to xxx1_old
4.delete and create fs mount
Access deny on shares unless they are recreated
Any one completed a loopback replication and cutover within the same storage on different filestorage pool? .....Any issues with shares?

IF your CIFS server is created on a VDM then the shares are stored on the VDM so they will be retained

probably because you are doing loopback replication and you can't have two file systems with identical name.

Fs names don’t matter – mountpoints do since they are part of the path
All that should matter is what the path for the shares says
For CIFS servers that are created on a VDM the pathname should be absolute to the VDM root (not the data mover root)
Check what it says in both cases
