I apologize in advance if this is in a FAQ or in the archives. I couldn't find an answer there, so...
I've just brought a new vol on-line and need to move some qtrees off other vols that are filling up. All vols are attached to a single F820 and my admin host is running Solaris 8.
What is the best (read: fastest) way to move a qtree between vols? The qtrees I'm moving are between 5 and 65 Gb in size.
I've looked at ndmpcopy on the ndmp.org site. It's intended for moves between filers, but should work fine for moves within the same filer. Also, the site claims it's been tested on Solaris 2.5.1. Have others compiled and used it on Solaris 8?
Are there other viable options besides ndmpcopy? I'd appreciate any advice from others who have gone down this road. TIA.
Cheers, Ed
