Vol copy will copy a volume's contents and the snapshots as well, but it won't work between traditional and flexible volumes.
Since you have space for both the traditional volumes and the aggregates, could you just not migrate the volumes contents to the new volumes and start snapshotting there, and at the same time retain the old volumes for a period of time until you don't require the old snapshots anymore.

There is no way to do this easily. ndmpcopy is a good way to start if you don't have a lot of files. qtree snapmirror is a good way to go as well. But there's no way to just move the snapshot from point a to point b. There's also 3rd party products like neopath, that can move data independent of your underlying filesystem technology.

List,
We have a FAS270 recently upgraded to 7.0.5. We would like
migrate
from traditional volumes to flexible volumes and keep the existing snapshots. I searched the NOW site and could not find much, has anyone
done
this? Will we be able to retain the existing snapshots?? We have
enough
drives to have the aggregate and traditional volumes working
simultaneously
on the same filer.
Cheers.
Tom.
