You most certainly want to fix that *BEFORE* you get to Clustered ONTAP. Once a volume has its' language set in cDOT, you cannot change it. You must create a new volume and copy it without mirroring (ndmp, scp, etc)

We are in the process of migrating data from our 7mode filers (8.1.2P4 7-Mode) to our new CDOT filers (8.3.1P1), and we noticed that a few of our 7mode volumes (NFS volumes) do not have the correct language set.
7mode documentation says I can change the language of a volume, however:
Note: If you are changing the NFS character set, you are asked to confirm
your choice, and also whether you want to halt the system so that WAFL_check can be run to check for any files that will no longer be accessible using NFS. The default answer for this question is yes. If you do not want to halt the system, you must enter n.
I'd really prefer to not halt the filer. What are the ramifications of not halting the filer? Can I safely change the language and snapmirror over to the new filers without issue?
Thanks.
