Hello Everyone,

 

I am trying to upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0.4 and I currently have trad vols. I also have another filer that is hosting my snapmirrors of many trad vols.

 

My goal is to upgrade both filers to 7.0.4 to take advantage of flexvols.

 

I want to preserve my snapshots and have those moved as well. So ndmpcopy is out for me.

 

volcopy preserves my snapshots, but I can't seem to get it to work between trad vols and flex vols.

 

Is there a way I can do the following:

1. upgrade to 7G source and destination

2. Migrate from trad vol to flex while preserving my snapshots

3. update my snapmirror w/o re-initalizing the mirror.

 

I don't have Acopia or Neopath either. Are there tools w/in NetAPP that can help me?
