That's good news, I was told by another EMC engineer, that I will need to create 3 seperate nested file systems and 3 seperate mount points if I have 3 DataMovers....... it didn't make sense to me, this sounds more like it.
-thanks again for the help

just for the one that will be hosting your nested file systems. So step 1 will be to create nmfs file system:

nas_fs -name nmfs1 -type nmfs -create

then create a mount point in the root of the designated Data Mover for the new file system.



step 2 is to mount it:

server_mount server_3 -option ro nmfs1/nmfs1

step 3 is to create component file systems:

nas_fs -name ufs1 -create mtv1

repeat as many times as many file systems you need

step 4 is to mount them:

server_mount server_2 ufs1 /nmfs1/ufs1

yeah ..strange he/she would say that. Step 2 and 4 should be the same datamover ..either server_2 or server_3 ..little typo

no ..file system can only be mounted on one datamover at a time but each datamover can have its own nested file systems.

So I would need 3 mount points, 1 for each datamover???
