If you have SnapDrive and SnapMirror, this is pretty seamless (some others have mentioned SnapMirror already, and it is definitely the best choice).  SnapDrive just makes consistency and recovery for the SM destination easier…

Subject: Data migration

I need to migrate a 1.4Tb lun from one filer to another with minimal downtime (< 30 mins).  So clearly some copying of data has to be done prior to the actual move. 

Would snapmirror or flexclone be the most appropriate for this?   I’m not sure how I would get a consistent copy of the lun over to the other filer.  This is not a database, the lun contains flat files on NTFS.

Thanks
