Is there any way using dataontap command to move data from one qtree to another qtree? Ndmpcopy just copied data to new location , doesn't delete the original data.
Just use the Unix mv(1) command on an NFS client. Since 6.4, rename(2) across qtree boundaries works in the common case of a non-directory with link count 1. Provided your mv(1) doesn't have false "optimisations" about how to do a recursive move, the operation will be mostly rename's and comparatively little copy-and-then-delete-old.
See Tom Haynes' posting on 2003-04-01 [*] in the thread "converting a directory to a qtree" in the toasters archives for more details.
