Have searched previous discussions on this, but seems like this is a bit of a moving target. Apologies if this has already been addressed to death.
Considering FAS purchases now that N-Series is going away. Wanting to pull the plug and go cDOT on the new systems, but concerned about interoperability with the N-Series filers still on 7-mode.
Biggest concern: Can I SnapVault from 7-mode to cDOT? It sounds like there's a way to do this via a migration tool, but less clear if regular 'ol SnapVault and SnapMirror work between the two platforms.
No, you can not Vault between 7m and cDOT. you can do a "transition" mirror into cDOT from 7m, as part of migration.
Really hoping it works as the co-existence option will make our lives a lot easier.
you and me both. Our co-existence strategy is to maintain parallel 7m and cDOT infrastructures, with new starts (new shares) and new gear being cDOT, and long-lifed data sets migrating to cDOT. over time, the data sets resident on 7m filers will age-out, go offline, and then we'll retire those filers.
migration and patience are your best strategies.
