Migrating Quotas
by Chris Muellner 03 Jul '08

03 Jul '08

Has anybody migrated quotas from an existing Windows file server with DAS, using quotas through storage management in the MMC, to a NetApp using CIFS shares before? I know there's an export feature in the MMC in Windows, but I can't seem to get it to export into an decipherable format. There are currently over 1,000 quotas in place (some the same, many different) that we would really prefer not to have to redo all by hand. Any ideas? Thanks!

RE: filer to vfiler conversions
by Villabroza, Gerald 01 Jul '08

Because each vfiler needs its own ip address there may not be a way to unassign the ip from the root vfiler (vfiler0) and assign it to a vfiler (vfiler1) with zero downtime. You can certainly use a new ip for vfiler1 and make DNS changes so the old name points to the new ip. This isn't zero downtime, but depending on your DNS mechanics it can be very low. If you're running cifs on vfiler0 and want to move those resources to vfiler1 you have no choice but to take a short outage since cifs is stateful and the mac address will be different between vfiler0 and 1. We've been running multistore for over a year now and in most cases the vfiler resources are segregated from the physical vfiler0. If others have an idea on how to do this with zero downtime I'd be happy to be wrong. -=--=- gerald villabroza <geraldv at stanford.edu> technical lead, its storage, stanford university -----Original Message----- From: scott.belisle(a)americas.bnpparibas.com <scott.belisle(a)americas.bnpparibas.com> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 8:23 AM To: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com <owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com>; toasters(a)mathworks.com <toasters(a)mathworks.com> Subject: filer to vfiler conversions Hi, Quick question for any multistore users out there. I have a physical filer that I want to convert to a vfiler. However, I need to keep the same IP and DNS information intact, and don't want to incur any downtime. Is there a way to do this without having to take down the physical filer to change it's name/ip? We are running 7.2.3 on a 6030 with CIFS & NFS. Thanks!
