you will need to rely on host based tools or backup tools, disk based will not work as Netapp and Celerra have completely different file systems. Ask for "backup operator" rights on source and if you are using robocopy add /B switch.

As dynamox said – since the file systems are totally different you cannot use block copy tools and HAVE to use file based tools

Emcopy with proper Backup Operator privileges will copy any file no matter what ACL on it

How does EMCACL work? will it help in getting previleges on source FS?If yes how?

Emcopy is very similar to robocopy and available on your Tools&Apps CD and as a download from Powerlink

It uses Backup Operator Privilege (you have to grant this for your copy account on both src and dst) so that it can read/write files that are otherwise denied

Details are in the Using EMC Utilities for the CIFS Environment manual available from Powerlink

I dont have any acces on source file so i would like to know if i can get backup oprator previleges or other permissions

using the EMCACL to start migration?

The emcacl program will display ACLs for files or directories you have access to (it will not grant you any privilege)

You should ask the AD domain administrator to create an account for the migration

Without backup/restore user rights there is no way in Windows to have access to files you do not have access to because of permissions

Claude

NO – emcacl wont work for this

The way you typically get backup operator privileges is by being in the local Administrators or Account Operators group. Normally Domain Administrators are included there by default. If you don’t use a copy account that is a domain admin you need to ask your Windows folks to add it to the local groups on src/dst

Is there a way to open support ticket on EMCACL. I don't see that product listed under any EMC products

Damal

Thanks Dynamox

Is there a handler in EMCACL to restore the NTFS permissions

yes, select Celerra or VNX from the product list
