This is something I'm planning on doing soon- we have file servers that we migrated to another NAS vendor, and now it's time to migrate them to Netapp. We'll be creating the SVMs initially as the proper name with a _temp in the AD account, which we'll use to robocopy the data. Once it's time for the cutover, we'll do a final sync during the outage, and then take over the old IP address and rejoin the Netapp SVMs to the domain with the proper names (no _temp). This will require us to recreate the shares and homedir settings, and I consider myself lucky that I don't have replication or name mappings.

There is no rename on "cifs modify" so you have to delete and re-add... then recreate all shares, also name-mappings, and autohome directory settings. You can modify the domain membership if switching domains though. It is easier to rename the dns record or you can also netbios alias in 8.3, but we just had a case where we changed the name and recreated the settings.
Also, a vserver rename command needs to have vserver peering removed prior...and prior to removing the peer you need to break all mirrors so vserver rename can be a bit of work to recreate as well when snapmirror/snapvault are in use.

Hello All,
I want to migrate the contents of a small file server to an 8.3 SVM and end up with the SVM having the same name in DNS, NetBIOS and the AD.
If this were a 7-mode vFiler I could re-run "cifs setup" and change the name to the existing name (after I'd powered down the old file server).
Can I do this in 8.3? While I can see commands for renaming an SVM that only appears to rename the SVM itself, not to do anything to the AD.
I can see how to add and remove netbios aliases (WINS entries) but again, nothing to do with the AD.
Do I have to remove and re-add the CIFS server? And lose all the CIFS shares? Or is there a way to rename the puppy?
