First off, thanks to those who replied to my previous post about moving large amounts of data between netapps. I am trying most of the recommendations and have come to ndmpcopy. I have everything set up to copy data from one netapp to a second one, but I am getting an error. Has anyone come across the following error and know of any way to remedy it?
On the destination volume, create an "/etc" directory at the very root.
This is a problem with Ontap 5.1x versions, that will be fixed in the follow-on releases.
We apologize for the annoyance, Stephen Manley FS Recovery Mechanic
