Hello toasters,
Has anyone ever performed a copy free transition manually?
I don't wish to use 7MT since it seems to want to do complete migration of everything (all aggregates,volumes, and general configuration) to an empty cluster. The 7mode aggregate and the volumes/snapshots contained need to be moved to the new cluster as archive. The volumes in the aggregate are qtree snapmirror destination volumes.
My understanding is that after breaking the mirrors and removing ownership of the disks of the aggregate on the 7mode filer I can in principle re-cable the shelf to the Ontap 9 filer and import the foreign aggregate using the diag level commands found under "storage transition ...". The man pages for these commands are rather thin.
Has anyone ever done CFT without using the 7MT tool and can provide more information as to the steps involved.
Thanks,
Joel
