The tool appears to be directed to small installations. If you have large/complex systems, it would be best to enlist the NetApp PS crew.
I used the the tool that preceeded the 7MTT...the Volume Transition Wizard...which by the way may panic a destination running 8.2...found out the hard way! The VTW worked OK prior to 8.2.
It was easy to setup per volume. I have not played much at all with the new tool as now that I am migrated, I really have no use for it ;)

That must have been a while ago since SAN has been supported in cDOT starting with 8.1.
Regarding migration from 7-mode to cDOT, NetApp has a tool named 7MTT that leverages SnapMirror to migrate data from 7-mode to cDOT filers.

But what about the limitations? We looked at it when we moved up to 3220s and 3250 pairs, but in particular the vFilers not being able to do SAN FC LUNs was a big turn off for us. I wanted to setup a certain group in a vFiler, but since they are FC only mostly, it was a no-go.
We're currently running 8.1.2 in 7-mode and fairly happy. Thinking up upgrades, but if it ain't seriously broke, why bother?
Also, how would we migrate from 7-mode to cluster mode with a minimum of hassle? _______________________________________________ Toasters mailing list Toasters@teaparty.net http://www.teaparty.net/mailman/listinfo/toasters
