Dave,
Are you replicating the data to the F840 or just moving shelves? If you're replicating data with something like Snapmirror, you might consider the Ontap 6.X snapmirror migrate command. This alters the disk labels on the destination so you don't end up with stale NFS filehandles on all the clients (if you're using NFS). For CIFS, you don't need to worry about this.

Good morning. I've got a question about substituting one netapp for another, by setting the ip addresses the same and changing the ethernet cable going to the switch from one to the other.
The netapp I'm trying to bring online is the 840. The ether (mac) addresses are showing different from inconfig, and I'm wondering if there's a way to set that explicitly; I don't see it from the options listed.
the 840:
netapp-demo*> ifconfig e9b e9b: flags=48043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 206.33.27.85 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 206.33.27.127 ether 00:20:fc:1e:3a:75 (100tx-fd-down) netapp-demo*>
the other netapp, a 760 running 5.3.6R1:
wesson> ifconfig e0 e0: flags=200043<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING> mtu 1500 inet 206.33.27.85 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 206.33.27.127 partner inet 206.33.27.86 (not in use) ether 00:a0:98:00:78:c5 (100tx-fd-up) wesson>
